“…The larger proportion of female participants is in accordance with the imbalanced prevalence of HOA among men and women (35), and may be further explained by the fact that men in general are stronger than women (27). Thus, even if men with HOA experience reduced grip strength, the majority probably still have sufficient hand strength to manage their daily activities and therefore may be less likely to seek health care due to their HOA.…”

“…Ook genetische factoren spelen mogelijk een rol, maar het is nog niet duidelijk welke genen verantwoordelijk zijn [Fumagalli 2005]. Uit een vergelijkend onderzoek blijkt dat noduli van Heberden en Bouchard frequenter voorkomen bij mannelijke (36%) en vrouwelijke (49%) verwanten van patiënten met handartrose dan in de algemene bevolking (mannen 17% en vrouwen 26%) [Kellgren 1963].…”

“…[26] Only patients with HOA were included in our study and HOA is known to have a better course than that of RA, scleroderma, or stiff hand syndrome. [27][28][29] At the end of study, we observed significant improvements in pain, hand functions, and daily living activities in patients with HOA who were treated with paraffin therapy plus exercise.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of a home-based exercise program in combination with paraffin therapy on pain, functional status, grip strength, and quality of life (QoL) and to compare the outcomes of these two treatment modalities. Patients and methods: This prospective, single-blind, randomized-controlled study included a total of 61 patients (8 males, 53 females, mean age 59.22 years; range, 35 to 78 years) who were diagnosed with hand osteoarthritis (HOA) according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria between November 2016 and February 2017. The first group (group 1) (n=31) received paraffin therapy + home-based exercise program and the second group (group 2) (n=30) received home-based exercise program alone. All patients were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Australian/Canadian (AUSCAN) Osteoarthritis Hand Index, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Hand Grip Strength (HGS), and Finger Pinch Strength (FPS) at baseline and at two and six weeks after the intervention. Results: In group 1, there were statistically significant improvements in all parameters at two and six weeks (p<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in the HGS and AUSCAN Osteoarthritis Hand Index scores in group 2 at two and six weeks (p<0.05). Inter-group analysis showed statistically significant differences in favor of group 1 in the VAS, HAQ, AUSCAN Osteoarthritis Hand Index, HGS, and FPS scores at two and six weeks compared to baseline scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: Paraffin therapy combined with home-based exercise program in patients with symptomatic HOA provides effective pain control and is effective in improving functional status, HGS, FPS, and QoL in short term.
