Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have painful arthritis at the base of the thumb (the joint where the thumb meets the wrist).
- People who are able to understand and agree to take part in the study by giving their informed consent.
Who may not be able to join:
- People who are under 18 years of age at the time of enrolling in the study.
- People who have a nerve or muscle condition affecting the hand being treated, where that condition is not related to the thumb base joint surgery itself.
- People who have a known inflammatory arthritis condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis.
- People who have had, or currently have, an infection in the thumb base joint of the affected hand.
- People who have dementia or are otherwise unable to give informed consent.
- People who would be unable to follow the study's guidelines and requirements.
Note: People whose knuckle at the base of the thumb bends back further than normal are not automatically excluded. If a related procedure is performed on that joint at the same time as the main surgery, this will be recorded in the study data (confirm with trial site).
