All recruiting trials (14)

• Optimal Duration of Mechanical Traction for Displaced Distal Radius Fractures

  This study tests whether 1 minute of mechanical traction can align a displaced distal radius as well as 5 or 10 minutes in adults who come to the emergency department.

  Recruiting Luzerner Kantonsspital · Lucerne, Canton of Lucerne · NCT07861763

• ESWT added to rehabilitation for CRPS-I after a distal radius fracture

  This trial tests whether adding extracorporeal shock wave therapy to standard rehab helps adults with CRPS-I after a distal radius fracture.

  Recruiting Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital · Istanbul, Istanbul · NCT07807852

• Wrist Injury Strengthening Exercise added to usual care for improving pain and function after a wrist fracture

  This trial tests whether a therapist-guided strengthening program helps people 50 and older recover better from a wrist fracture than standard self-management advice.

  Recruiting University of Aarhus · Aarhus N · NCT07538323

• Home-use photobiomodulation (light) therapy to help recovery after distal radius (wrist) fracture surgery

  This test will see if a home-use light therapy device plus twice-daily home exercises helps adults 18–65 recover wrist function after surgical repair of a distal radius fracture.

  Recruiting University of Nove de Julho · São Paulo · NCT07426926

• Fear of movement and recovery after a non-surgical broken wrist

  This project will see if fear of movement (kinesiophobia) predicts recovery in people treated without surgery for a broken wrist.

  Recruiting Pamukkale University · Denizli and 1 other locations · NCT07291505

• Casting without prior reduction versus closed reduction for displaced wrist (distal radius) fractures in people 65 and older

  This trial will test whether simply putting a cast on displaced wrist fractures in people 65 and older works as well as doing a closed reduction before casting by measuring wrist pain and function at 12 months.

  Recruiting at 9 sites Tampere University Hospital · Viborg and 10 other locations · NCT07042139

• Early rehabilitation program for post-operative distal radius fractures

  This study is testing a new early rehab program for people who had surgery for wrist fractures to see if it helps them recover better and feel less pain compared to standard rehab methods.

  Recruiting The University of Hong Kong · Hong Kong · NCT06931418

• Comparing two pain relief methods for wrist fracture treatment

  This study is testing whether using ultrasound to guide a nerve block or a hematoma block works better for managing pain in people with wrist fractures during treatment.

  Recruiting Hospital Universitario San Ignacio · Bogotá, Bogota D.C. · NCT06857110

• Effects of whirlpool and contrast baths on pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome after wrist fractures

  This study is testing whether whirlpool and contrast baths can help reduce pain and improve function in adults with complex regional pain syndrome after a wrist fracture.

  Recruiting Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University · Afyonkarahisar, Afyonkarahisar · NCT06769373

• Understanding recovery and satisfaction after wrist fractures

  This study is looking to see how well people recover and feel after wrist fractures by asking them about their pain and hand function over three months, whether they were treated with a cast or surgery.

  Recruiting Sahlgrenska University Hospital · Mölndal, Region Västra Götaland and 1 other locations · NCT05818241

• Evaluating fracture classifications for distal radius fractures

  This study is trying to see if expert doctors classify distal radius fractures differently than what's recorded in a hospital database to help improve treatment and training for medical staff.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland · Basel · NCT05684042

• Evaluating thumb function recovery after EPL rupture from distal radius fractures

  This study is testing how well two different surgeries can help people recover their thumb function after a tendon injury from a wrist fracture.

  Recruiting Vastra Gotaland Region · Mölndal · NCT05264675

• Assessing tendon movement after using a special hydrogel in wrist fracture surgery

  This study is testing whether a special gel used during wrist fracture surgery can help tendons move better and reduce the chance of injuries after the operation.

  Recruiting at 2 sites University of Colorado, Denver · Aurora, Colorado and 1 other locations · NCT04976335

• Comparing ultrasound guided and traditional hematoma blocks for pain relief in wrist fractures

  This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide pain relief injections can work better for adults with wrist fractures than the traditional method.

  Recruiting Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · Boston, Massachusetts · NCT02346929

NIH-funded research (1)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Using algorithms to analyze movement data for recovery after wrist fractures

  This study is looking at how smart technology can track your arm movements while you recover from a wrist fracture, helping doctors understand your healing better and make more informed treatment choices.
