About this study

Official title: Psychosocial Factors a Prognostic Study of Pain Persistence in Patients With Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis

In this clinical trial, females with a diagnosis of thumb CMC OA, will be recruited. The primary outcome of potential risk factors of osteoarthritis, pain and function will be measured using the demographic data, visual analog scale (VAS) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH). Secondary out-comes will include the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Impairment and Functioning Inventory (IFI). Measurements will be taken at the baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up.

Read the detailed description

The study will start recruitment in April 2019.In this clinical trial, 50-100 females, aged 50 to 90 years of age, with a diagnosis of thumb CMC OA, will be recruited. The primary outcome of potential risk factors of osteoarthritis, pain and function will be measured using the demographic data, visual analog scale (VAS) and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH). Secondary out-comes will include the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Impairment and Functioning Inventory (IFI). Measurements will be tak-en at the baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change from baseline to 12 months Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Pain scale VAS; 0: no pain, 100: maximum pain

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up

  2. Change from baseline to 12 months Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand

    Self Report Function,QuickDash scores range from 0 to 100, higher scores means more dysfunction

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline to 12 months using the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire

    Confidence in performing activities of daily living,They answer by circling a number on a 7-point Likert scale under each item, where 0 = not at all confident and 6= completely confident. A total score, ranging from 0 to 60, is calculated by adding the scores for each item. Higher scores reflect stronger self- efficacy beliefs.

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up

  2. Change from baseline to 12 months using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia

    measure of fear of movement, the total score ranges between 17 and 68. A high value on the TSK indicates a high degree of kinesiophobia, and a cutoff score was developed by Vlaeyen (1995), where a score of 37or over is considered as a high score, while scores below that are considered as low scores. Use of a total score (including all 17 items) is recommended, although practitioners may wish to interpret results using two subscales

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up

  3. Change from baseline to 12 months using the Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire

    self report measure of avoidance of activities of daily livin, The questionnaire consists of 16 items in which a patient rates their agreement with each statement on a 7-point Likert scale. Where 0= completely disagree, 6=completely agree. There is a maximum score of 96. A higher score indicates more strongly held fear avoidance belief

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up

  4. Change from baseline to 12 months using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale

    Measure Depression and Anxiety,Each item on the questionnaire is scored from 0-3 and this means that a person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression. The higher the score indicates heightened anxiety or depression

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up

  5. Change in from baseline to 12 months using the Impairment and Functioning Inventory

    Function, . It consists of 30 items with two related subscales: Daily Functioning and Impairment (perceived current level of functioning compared with the level of functioning before pain onset). 30 questions scored 0-4. Higher score indicates increased ability to perform activities of daily living

    Measured: baseline, three, six and 12 months follow up
