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.

  Recruiting Sohag University · Sohag, Naser City · NCT07523386

• 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.

  Recruiting Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine · Guangzhou, Guangdong · NCT07054463

• 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.

  Recruiting Al Hayah University In Cairo · Cairo · NCT06913933

• 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.

  Recruiting Al Hayah University In Cairo · Cairo · NCT06913920

• 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.

  Recruiting Al Hayah University In Cairo · Cairo · NCT06913894

• 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.

  Recruiting Oslo University Hospital · Oslo, Oslo · NCT06617780

• 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.

  Recruiting Phase 1/2 Novadip Biosciences · Luxembourg · NCT06532253

• 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.

  Recruiting University of British Columbia · Vancouver, British Columbia · NCT06453447

• 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.

  Recruiting Phase 4 University Health Network, Toronto · Toronto, Ontario · NCT06384456

• 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.

  Recruiting Phase 1 George Washington University · Washington, Virginia · NCT06251206

• 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.

  Recruiting Phase 3 University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill · Chapel Hill, North Carolina · NCT06179004

• 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.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Hospital Costa del Sol · Córdoba and 1 other locations · NCT06019585

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.
