Self-management in chronic hand pain: Clinician perspectives from members of the American Society of Hand Therapists
Listen to this summary
This study investigates the self-management strategies prescribed by hand therapists for patients with chronic hand pain and examines clinicians' perceptions of patient adherence to these strategies. The findings reveal that while therapists frequently recommend various self-management techniques, adherence is influenced by factors such as time constraints and health literacy. The authors suggest that improving patient education and addressing barriers could enhance adherence and overall outcomes in managing chronic hand pain.
