* As per my clinical experience, the management protocols of osteoarthritis in hands depends upon the clinical severity and significance, however, the following would help a lot: - Heating pad application - Use of diclofenac, linseed oil with or without capsaicin cream over the hand joints - Assisted physiotherapy by experts - NSAID tablets as diclofenac, nimesulide or others - Disease modifying agents as monoclonal antibodies or others
