Summary

The goal of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an integrated self-management programme in improving clinical outcomes in patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA).

This is an open-labelled, randomized controlled trial with an objective to determine the efficacy of an integrated self-management programme versus routine clinical care for participants with symptomatic hand OA.

Participants will be randomized into early intervention group and routine clinical care groups in a 1:1 ratio. Patients who randomized into early intervention group will receive 8 week integrated self-management programme delivered by occupational therapists and rheumatology nurse on hand OA management. Patients who randomized into routine clinical care group will receive usual clinical care for OA for 26 weeks and then receive an identical 8 weeks integrated self-management programme. The primary outcome is the improvement in pain at 26 weeks between the two groups.
