Effects of a Neuromuscular Exercise Therapy Program for Treatment of Wrist Osteoarthritis: a Randomized Controlled Trial

NCT05367817 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 48

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Individuals with wrist osteoarthritis (OA) can suffer from pain, muscular weakness, and impaired motion of the wrist, which can reduce the quality of life. While there is strong evidence that all patients with OA should receive first-line treatment with education and exercises, this approach has not yet been proposed for individuals with wrist OA. Therefore, this trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a first line neuromuscular joint protective exercise therapy program compared to a training program with range of motion (ROM) exercises in patients with wrist OA.
