Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female; age between 18 and 75 years.
  • Patient with symptomatic PIPJ OA.
  • Patient treated medically for functional signs for more than 3 months, without improvement, justifying a surgical intervention.
  • Patient with a QuickDash score > 33 points (converted to 50%).
  • Patient with pain, at rest, in the PIPJ ≥ 4/10 on a VAS.
  • Patient who received the study information and provided consent.
  • Member or beneficiary of a national health insurance plan.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding woman; woman without effective .
  • Patient with signs of neuropathy with functional disorders such as hyperesthesia.
  • Patient with uncontrolled epilepsy or neuropathy that contraindicates locoregional anesthesia.
  • Person confined by a judicial or administrative decision.
  • Adult subjected to legal protection measures or unable to provide his/her consent.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in the symptomatology related to the PIPJ OA

    Quality of life related to PIPJ OA evaluated using Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire (0 = no disability, 100 = most severe disability); a decrease of 25% of the score is expected between subject's inclusion and the 12-month postoperative visit

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Absence of toxicity

    No inflammatory reactions, no adverse events

    Time frame: Through study completion (12 months)

  2. Change in pain related to PIPJ OA

    Pain evaluated from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain) on a visual analog scale (VAS)

    Time frame: 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  3. Change in the treated finger mobility

    Change from baseline (CFB) in degree of active and passive flexion and extension of the finger treated in the study

    Time frame: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months

  4. No apparent joint space anomaly

    Joint space evaluated on radiography using Crosby's classification (stage 0 = no apparent anormaly; stage 1 = reduction to half of the normal joint space; stage 2 = hardly visible articular line; stage 3 = presence of erosions, scleroses and irregularity of the articular interline space)

    Time frame: 12 months
