接受健康志愿者

入选标准

  • Finger joint pain 40-80 on 0-100 VAS with insufficient pain relief from, inability to tolerate or contra-indications to oral paracetamol and/or NSAIDs, and hand symptoms (pain, aching, or stiffness) on most days the previous 6 weeks before randomization.
  • Hand OA according to the ACR criteria, at least 1 distal (DIP) or proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the 2nd-5th finger with radiographic pre-erosive (J-phase) or erosive disease (E-phase) according to the Verbruggen-Veys anatomical phase system, and at least two DIP/PIP joints with power Doppler signal of at least grade 1 or grey-scale synovitis of at least grade 2 on ultrasound.

排除标准

  • Contraindications for methotrexate, such as uncontrolled serious comorbidities, active or recurrent infections, malignancy, pregnancy and drug or substance abuse. • Other autoimmune or inflammatory rheumatic disease, or psoriasis. • Oral or intra-muscular steroids in the previous month. • Intra-articular treatments or aspirations of any kind of any joint in the hands 3 months before inclusion. • Analgesics, unless stable dosage for ≥1 month. • Symptomatic slow-acting drugs for OA (SYSADOA*), unless stable dose for ≥3 months. • Disease modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs**). The complete list of exclusion criteria is provided in the protocol.
