Assessment of Pain After Intra-articular Botulinum Toxin Injections in Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis of the Thumb
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice
Summary
Only 4 randomized controlled clinical trials have been published to date to assess the short-term effectiveness of intra-articular Botulinum Toxin injection on pain, function and quality of life in patients suffering from chronic knee pain related or not to knee osteoarthritis and also in the context of ankle osteoarthritis. The analgesic properties and the reported safety make intra-articular Botulinum toxin a strong candidate in the treatment of symptomatic manifestations of osteoarthritis disease and more particularly in certain locations such as the trapezo-metacarpal joint. Investigators hypothesize that injection of intra-articular Botulinum toxin into the trapezo-metacarpal joint will be of benefit in reducing pain and improving function in patients with rhizarthrosis. Investigators will begin a monocentric randomized controlled trial comparing intra-articular injections of Botulinum toxin and placebo.
