What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial enrolls emergency department patients with suspected distal radius fractures and moderate-to-severe pain (NRS 5–10). Participants are randomized to receive standard pain relief alone or standard pain relief plus a SAM aluminium splint. The primary outcome is pain on the numeric rating scale measured one hour after treatment, and secondary outcomes include pain medication use, any negative impact on radiology results, and reported side effects. The study is conducted in the emergency department at Malmö University Hospital.
