Thumb surgery trial comparing treatments for basal joint arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different thumb (basal joint) surgery approaches restore strength and function. You would be having planned (non-replacement) thumb surgery, and your chosen surgeon would care for you while researchers compare outcomes.

This study looks at joint fluid and tissue samples from people with thumb base osteoarthritis who are already scheduled for a surgery called trapeziectomy. The goal is to find markers that might help better understand the disease and improve treatment.
This study compares a real thumb basal joint surgery (trapeziectomy) with a sham/placebo operation to see which option helps pain and daily function better. It is for people with thumb arthritis who have tried non-surgical treatments but still have significant thumb pain.
This trial tests a surgery that replaces the joint at the base of the thumb to treat arthritis pain. It may help if you have thumb arthritis that hasn't improved with nonsurgical treatments.
This trial compares two surgeries for thumb base arthritis: replacing the joint with an artificial one or removing a small bone to ease pain. It aims to see which surgery gives better pain relief and function.
This study compares two common surgeries for thumb base arthritis to see which one gives better pain relief and hand function. The results could help you and your doctor choose the best treatment option.
This trial tests two surgical treatments for thumb base arthritis (rhizarthrosis) when other treatments like splints and injections haven't worked. It compares a newer joint implant (arthroplasty) with a standard procedure to remove a small bone (trapezectomy). The goal is to see which helps patients recover hand function better.
