Test stem-cell mixture injection for painful thumb arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests how safe an injection made from your own body fat cells (stroma vascular fraction) is in people with painful arthritis at the base of the thumb. It also looks at whether pain and hand function improve after the injection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have thumb base arthritis (rhizarthrosis) in stages 1 to 3
- You’ve tried standard pain treatment for at least 6 months, but it isn’t working well anymore
- Your thumb pain is at least moderate (EVA score 4 or higher)
- Your hand disability scores are high enough (QuickDASH or PRWHE 20/100 or higher)
- You can have the study consent process and are covered by social security
- Your body size allows treatment (BMI is 18 or higher)

This trial tests a new collagen-based medical device injected into the thumb joint to treat thumb base arthritis (rhizarthrosis). It aims to see if it safely reduces pain and improves hand function without surgery.
This trial tests a treatment using your own cells (stromal vascular fraction) to repair knee joint damage and reduce pain. It may help people with knee arthritis, tendon injuries, or persistent knee pain.
This study tests if botox injections into the thumb joint, along with a custom splint, can reduce pain from thumb base arthritis. It may be an option if you have persistent pain and have not had recent thumb surgery or certain other treatments.
This study tests whether a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection into the thumb joint can reduce pain and improve function better than a placebo (inactive) injection. PRP uses a concentration of your own blood platelets to potentially help heal the joint, and the goal is to see if it's an effective non-surgical option for thumb osteoarthritis.
This study tests a long-acting steroid injection for thumb arthritis at the base of the thumb. It aims to reduce pain and improve function in people with mild to moderate joint damage.
This trial tests whether two natural treatments—one made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) and one from your own fat cells—can relieve knee osteoarthritis pain when injected into the knee. The goal is to see if these injections reduce pain and improve knee function without surgery.
