Newest Distal Radius Fractures clinical trials
All recruiting trials (12)
-
Cannulated screws versus K-wires for fixing distal radius (wrist) fractures
This study will test whether cannulated screws or K-wires lead to better arm function and fewer complications in adults (18–60) with displaced extra-articular distal radius fractures.
-
Fu's subcutaneous needling with rehabilitation to help heal distal radius fractures after closed reduction
This trial will test whether adding Fu's subcutaneous needling to standard rehabilitation helps adults (18–85) heal distal radius fractures after closed reduction and splinting.
-
Comparing two types of splints for wrist stiffness after a fracture
This study is testing which type of splint, static progressive or dynamic, helps adults with wrist stiffness after a fracture feel better and move their wrist more easily.
-
Using mechanical devices to manage pain and swelling after wrist surgery
This study is testing whether using special machines to help with pain and swelling can improve recovery for people who have had wrist surgery for a broken bone.
-
Comparing rehabilitation methods for wrist fractures in younger adults
This study is testing three different rehab methods for wrist fractures in younger adults to see which one helps them recover better.
-
Evaluating radiological criteria for stability in wrist fractures
This study tests if certain X-ray and CT scan results can help doctors decide if adults with wrist fractures need surgery after a closed reduction.
-
Long-term safety evaluation of NVDX3 treatment
This study is testing the long-term safety of the NVDX3 treatment in patients who have already received it, by checking in with them every year for 10 years to see if they experience any problems.
-
Using prednisone to treat pain after wrist fractures
This study is testing if prednisone can help adults with wrist fractures feel less pain and recover better from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
-
Topical tranexamic acid versus placebo to reduce acute pain after volar fixation of distal radius fractures
This will try placing topical tranexamic acid into the surgical wound to see if it reduces post-operative pain and opioid use for adults having volar open reduction and internal fixation of a distal radius fracture.
-
Impact of early education on daily activities after wrist surgery
This study tests if giving patients early education on daily activities after wrist surgery helps them recover better than just standard care instructions.
-
Comparing two types of bupivacaine for pain relief in wrist surgery
This study is testing whether a new type of bupivacaine can provide better pain relief than the standard version for adults having wrist surgery.
-
Comparing compression bandages and splints for wrist fractures
This study is testing whether a compression bandage works better than a forearm cast for helping people heal from wrist fractures after surgery.
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.
-
Improving outcome measures for patients with wrist fractures across cultures
This study is creating and testing surveys for Spanish-speaking patients with wrist fractures to make sure they accurately reflect their experiences and needs, helping doctors provide better care.
