Nerve Treatment for Finger Joint Osteoarthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a procedure that quiets the nerves around a painful finger joint (PIP joint denervation) can reduce pain and improve hand function for people with osteoarthritis. It offers a possible alternative before considering more invasive surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have osteoarthritis in the middle knuckle of a finger (the PIP joint) that has been causing pain for a while.
- An X-ray has shown moderate to severe signs of osteoarthritis in that joint.
- You do not have other types of arthritis (such as rheumatoid arthritis) or an infection in your hand.
- You have not had a steroid, PRP, or hyaluronic acid injection in that joint in the last 3 months.

This trial tests a small metal implant (KeriFuse) that fuses the arthritic joint at the tip of your finger to reduce pain. It's for people with finger arthritis who are healthy enough for surgery.
This trial tests whether surgical “nerve disconnection” (joint denervation) can reduce pain from osteoarthritis in a finger joint. It focuses on people who have ongoing finger pain despite usual treatments for at least 3 months.
This study compares two treatments for wrist arthritis: a surgery that cuts certain wrist nerves to stop pain signals, versus structured hand exercises. It may help if you have chronic wrist pain from a specific type of arthritis and haven't had previous wrist nerve surgery.
This study tests whether a special splint called a 'relative motion orthosis' can help people regain movement in a stiff finger joint after an injury or surgery. If you have a recent finger joint problem and are willing to do hand therapy, this trial may help you recover better.
This study tests different ways to manage injuries to the middle joint of a finger. It may help you recover better and reduce pain or stiffness.
This study is for people who need a second operation to replace a failed artificial joint in the finger (proximal interphalangeal joint). The goal is to give these patients an option when other joint replacements are not suitable, especially if they use their hands for heavy activities.
