In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections improve pain and function in adults with thumb base osteoarthritis (CMC-I OA). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a PRP injection reduce pain compared to a placebo (saline) injection? Does PRP improve hand function, strength, and thumb mobility? What adverse events occur following PRP treatment? Researchers will compare PRP injections to a placebo injection (saline solution) to determine whether PRP is an effective treatment for CMC-I osteoarthritis. Participants will: Receive a single ultrasound-guided injection of PRP or placebo (saline) in the CMC-I joint. Attend follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months for clinical assessments. Complete questionnaires on pain (VAS) and hand function (MHQ-DLV) at multiple time points. Undergo physical examinations (grip strength, pinch str
