DO YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS OF THE BIG-TOE JOINT?

 

1. Pain in the big-toe joint for at least 3 months

2. Stiffness in the big-toe joint for at least 3 months

 

If you answered yes to these, you are invited to take part in a research study investigating the effect of an anti-arthritis treatment (SynviscŪ) on the pain and disability associated with arthritis of the big-toe joint.  The treatment is FREE.

 

Involvement in the study will occur after an initial assessment is completed to ensure that you are suitable to be enrolled in the study.  As a study participant, you will be randomly allocated to receive either the anti-arthritis treatment (SynviscŪ) or a placebo treatment.
