Treatment of thumb arthritis with a umbilical cord membrane
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a special membrane made from donated umbilical cord tissue that is placed into the thumb joint to help with pain and function. It aims to be an alternative to surgery for people with early-stage thumb arthritis who haven't gotten better with other treatments.

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 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 study tests how well people with thumb base arthritis can sense their thumb's position. It aims to understand how this sense is affected by the condition and may help improve future treatments.
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 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.
