Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Hand pain assessed with the numerical rating scale over 6 weeks after treatment
compared to sham.
Secondary outcome
Associations of somatosensory profiles measured with quantitative sensory
testing and transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency therapy efficacy.
Efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency therapy efficacy in hand osteoarthritis
measured in depression and anxiety scores, hand function, global perceived
effect, health-related quality of life.
Background summary
Different types of pain may be present in patients with hand osteoarthritis
(OA), including nociceptive pain and non-nociceptive pain. This makes adequate
pain treatment difficult, and thus new treatment options are needed.
Study objective
To assess the efficacy of transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency therapy (tPRF)
as a treatment for pain in hand OA.
Study design
Randomized clinical trial (RCT).
Intervention
Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency therapy of the hand versus sham.
Study burden and risks
This RCT will have little burdens and risk for the subjects. The proposed
intervention, tPRF, is well tolerated, with no known serious side effects.
