Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing works to treat hand arthritis in adults. It will also learn about the safety of ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing increase the therapeutic efficacy of piroxicam gel for hand arthritis?
Researchers will compare "ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing + piroxicam gel " to "ultrasonication + piroxicam gel" and "piroxicam gel alone" to see if ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing works to treat hand arthritis.
Participants will:
Take "ultrasonication-mediated microbubbles dressing (day 1,3,5) + piroxicam gel (day 2,4,6,7) ", "ultrasonication (day 1,3,5) + piroxicam gel (day 2.4.6.7)", and "piroxicam gel alone (day 1-7)" for 1 week.
Visit the clinic on day 1 and day 8 for checkups and tests Keep a diary of their symptoms
