    Abstract:
    Morning stiffness in osteoarthritis (OA) of the hands is a troublesome symptom that deserves attention in many OA patients. The aim of this research was to verify the action of oral dexketoprofen-trometamol (50 mg) administered early in the morning on morning stiffness in hand OA. Thirty-five patients were compared with 19 controls. The degree of morning stiffness, evaluated by means of the WOMAC scale for OA stiffness, was significantly diminished 40 min after drug administration in treated patients but not in controls. This drug acted rapidly and was effective in reducing morning stiffness in OA of the hands.
