Umbilical cord tissue for finger joint arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a special, sterilized piece of umbilical cord tissue (amniotic membrane) that is placed in the finger joint during surgery to help reduce pain and improve function for people with arthritis in the middle joint of the finger. It's for patients who haven't gotten better with standard medical treatments and are considering surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a special umbilical cord membrane placed in the joint to treat arthritis of the thumb base (STT joint). It may be an option if you have pain and disability that haven't improved with other treatments.
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 trial studies a new implant (the CapFlex) to replace a damaged finger joint (the PIP joint) when conservative treatments are not enough. It may help reduce pain and improve stability for the right type of joint problem.
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 trial tracks how well the KeriFlex® implant works over time in people who need a finger joint replacement due to arthritis or injury. It aims to see if the implant helps reduce pain and improve hand function.
This trial tests if injecting a special dye (Lipiodol) into the blood vessels of the fingers can safely reduce pain and symptoms in people with hand osteoarthritis that hasn't responded to standard pain relievers.
