Effectiveness of Superficial Radial Nerve Block on Pain, Function and Quality of Life in Patients With Hand Osteoarthritis: A Prospective, Randomized and Controlled Single-Blind Study

Öz:

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of ultrasound-guided superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN) block on pain, function andquality of life in patients with hand osteoarthritis (HOA).Patients and methods: In this prospective, randomized and controlled single-blind study, 50 female patients (mean age 59.0±5.1 years;range, 46 to 64 years) diagnosed with HOA were randomized into two groups. Group 1 (n=25) was administered an ultrasound-guided SBRN injection(with a combination of 2 mL 0.25% bupivacaine and 1 mL methylprednisolone acetate) + exercise, while group 2 (n=25) only exercised. Patients wereassessed with a Visual Analog Scale for pain, hand grip strength (HGS), finger grip strength (FGS), Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Handquestionnaire, Duruöz Hand Index and Short-form 12. Data were obtained before treatment (W0), in the second week after treatment (W2) and inthe fourth week after treatment (W4).Results: In group 1, a statistically significant improvement was obtained in all parameters at both W2 and W4 compared to the values recordedat W0 (p<0.05). In group 2, a statistically significant improvement was observed only in the parameters of HGS and FGS at W2 and W4 (p<0.05).A comparison of the scores of the two groups showed statistically significant superior improvement in group 1 in all parameters at both W2 and W4(p<0.05).Conclusion: The findings of our study showed that an ultrasound-guided SBRN block combined with exercise is a significantly superior treatmentto exercise-only regarding the improvements in the parameters of pain, function and quality of life in HOA patients.
