This systematic review evaluates nonoperative treatments for trapeziometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (TMJO), a common degenerative condition in postmenopausal females causing pain, reduced mobility, and diminished grip strength. Following PRISMA guidelines, a search was conducted across PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and MEDLINE for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing pain outcomes with nonoperative interventions over at least a six-month follow-up, using the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain measurement. Eleven RCTs yielded moderate-quality evidence for the following: (1) corticosteroid (CSI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) injections exhibit comparable mean delta pain scores after six months, with CSI offering early relief at two to three weeks. After 12 months, CSI led to a continued decrease in pain, with a mean delta pain score of 1.0 (p<0.05), contrasting with hyaluronic acid (HA) injections, which presented a modest though nonsignificant improvement, demonstrating a mean delta pain score of 0.5 (p=0.16). (2) Relatively novel therapies for TMJO, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and dextrose, appear to surpass CSI in long-term effectiveness, with dextrose showing a mean delta pain score of 3.8 (p<0.001) at six months and PRP achieving a mean delta pain score of 5.5 (p=0.005) at 12 months. (3) Various hand therapies, notably standard hand exercises and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), demonstrated significant pain reduction, with the former achieving a mean delta pain score of 1.5 (p=0.019) and the latter a score of 4.2 (p<0.001). (4) The use of orthoses substantially decreases pain levels, demonstrating a mean delta pain score reduction of 2.6 at a 180-day follow-up (p=0.023) and 2.2 at a 12-month follow-up (p=0.002). In conclusion, nonoperative treatments for TMJO, including intra-articular injections, hand therapy, and orthoses, provide significant pain relief at a minimum of six months follow-up. The synergistic effect of combined nonoperative management, as well as the effect size of each, is unknown.
本系统评价评估了第一掌腕关节骨关节炎(TMJO)的非手术治疗方法,这是一种在绝经后女性中常见的退行性疾病,会导致疼痛、活动能力下降和握力减弱。按照PRISMA指南,在PubMed、Cochrane、Embase和MEDLINE数据库中进行了检索,以查找随机对照试验(RCT),这些试验评估了至少随访6个月的非手术干预的疼痛结局,使用视觉模拟量表(VAS)测量疼痛。11项RCT得出了关于以下方面的中等质量证据:(1)皮质类固醇(CSI)和透明质酸(HA)注射在6个月后的平均疼痛变化评分相当,CSI在2至3周时能提供早期缓解。12个月后,CSI导致疼痛持续减轻,平均疼痛变化评分为1.0(p<0.05),相比之下,透明质酸(HA)注射虽有适度改善但不显著,平均疼痛变化评分为0.5(p=0.16)。(2)相对新颖的TMJO治疗方法,如富血小板血浆(PRP)和葡萄糖,在长期疗效上似乎超过了CSI,葡萄糖在6个月时的平均疼痛变化评分为3.8(p<0.001),PRP在12个月时的平均疼痛变化评分为5.5(p=0.005)。(3)各种手部治疗方法,尤其是标准手部锻炼和体外冲击波疗法(ESWT),显示出显著的疼痛减轻,前者的平均疼痛变化评分为1.5(p=0.019),后者为4.2(p<0.001)。(4)使用矫形器可大幅降低疼痛水平,在180天随访时平均疼痛变化评分降低2.6(p=0.023),在12个月随访时降低2.2(p=0.002)。总之,TMJO的非手术治疗方法,包括关节内注射、手部治疗和矫形器,在至少6个月的随访中能显著缓解疼痛。联合非手术治疗的协同效应以及每种治疗方法的效应大小尚不清楚。
