Corticosteroid Injection for Common Upper Extremity Problems
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Placebo Injection and Steroid (dexamethasone) Injection for Lateral Elbow Pain. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of a steroid injection to a placebo (inactive substance) in the treatment of lateral elbow pain, deQuervain's tendonitis, or base of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis. We are also trying to identify which personality factors and mindsets influence perceptions of elbow, wrist and hand pain. We hope to enroll 213 subjects in this study.
