## Background: Evidence for non-pharmacological interventions in hand osteoarthritis is promising but still scarce. combined interventions are most likely to best cover the clinical needs of patients with hand osteoarthritis (oa). the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a combined, interdisciplinary intervention feasible in both primary and specialist care compared to routine care plus placebo in patients with hand oa. ## Methods: This was a randomised, controlled 2-month trial with a blinded assessor. in the combined-intervention group, rheumatology-trained health professionals from different disciplines delivered a one-session individual intervention with detailed information on functioning, activities of daily living, physical activity, nutrition, assistive devices, instructions on pain management and exercises. telephone follow up was performed after 4 weeks. the primary outcome was grip strength after 8 weeks. secondary outcomes were self-reported pain, satisfaction with treatment, health status, two of the jebsen-taylor hand function subtests and the total score of the australian/canadian hand osteoarthritis index (auscan). statistical significance was calculated
