Clinical trial of OA in the Hand description

An 8-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial of diclofenac sodium gel 1% in 385 adults aged ≥40 years with primary osteoarthritis of the hand. Following the initial visit, patients returned for follow-up assessments at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8.¹
Definition of AUSCAN

AUSCAN is a self-reported assessment of hand pain, stiffness, and function that is used to appraise an overall condition rather than relying on any one particular symptom. Total AUSCAN score was calculated as the average of scores on 15 questions rating pain, stiffness, or function—standardized to range from 0 (no pain/stiffness/difficulty) to 100 (extreme pain/stiffness/difficulty).
