Thumb muscle activity in daily tasks for thumb arthritis patients
This study compares thumb muscle activity during everyday activities between people with thumb base arthritis and healthy people. It aims to understand how the disease affects muscle use, which could help improve 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 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 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.
