Summary

Patients with hand osteoarthritis will be randomized into two groups, paraffin wax and prolotherapy group. Patients will be evaluated before and after treatment , after 2 weeks 4 weeks and 3 months after treatment. Evaluation parameters are visual analog scale, Duruoz hand index scales, grip strength, lateral pinch, two point pinch and three point pinch strengths.
