Compare two ways to fix children’s forearm bone fractures
This study compares two surgical methods—casting versus percutaneous pinning—to treat certain distal (near the wrist) forearm fractures in children. It aims to find which method works best for healing and function, especially in specific fracture types.
HelsinkiAges Up to 10 years - NCT04976335Recruiting
Tests a gel that helps wrist tendon movement after fracture repair
This study looks at whether a bio-dissolving (self-absorbing) gel improves how well the wrist flexor tendons glide after surgery for a distal radius fracture. You may be randomly assigned to use the gel or not, and the researchers will measure wrist tendon and clinical outcomes to see if it helps.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT05264675Recruiting
Treatment study for thumb tendon injury after wrist fracture
This study looks at outcomes after an EPL tendon rupture that happens with a distal radius (wrist) fracture. It may help improve how thumb function is treated and measured after this specific type of injury.

This registry collects information and X-ray images from people who had surgery for a distal radius (wrist) fracture. It helps researchers improve fracture care by using real-world treatment and outcome data.
BaselAges 16 years+ - NCT05818241Recruiting
Recovery and satisfaction after a wrist bone fracture
This trial studies how satisfied patients are with recovery after a specific type of wrist fracture (distal radius) and how well recovery goes. It may help improve care and rehabilitation for people healing from this injury.
Mölndal, Region Västra GötalandAges 18 years+ - NCT06019585Recruiting
Comparing two bandages after wrist fracture surgery
This study compares two ways to support the wrist after surgery for a broken distal radius. One uses a compression bandage, the other uses a splint. The goal is to see which helps you heal and return to daily activities faster.
CórdobaAges 18–75 - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06179004RecruitingPhase 3
Numbing medicine comparison for wrist surgery pain
This study compares two types of numbing medicine (bupivacaine and liposomal bupivacaine) given near the collarbone before wrist surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06453447Recruiting
Prednisone to prevent CRPS after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether a short course of the steroid prednisone can prevent or reduce complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after wrist surgery. It is for people who had a broken wrist fixed with a plate and screws and have a higher chance of developing CRPS.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06617780Recruiting
Study on wrist fracture stability criteria
This trial is studying how to tell if a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) is stable enough to heal well. It will compare different ways of measuring the break on X-rays to find the best criteria for deciding if surgery is needed.
Oslo, OsloAges 18–65 - NCT06678438RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block vs. hematoma block for wrist fracture realignment
This study compares two ways to numb your arm before a doctor moves your broken wrist back into place: one is a nerve block (injection near the shoulder), and the other is a hematoma block (injection into the fracture site). The goal is to see which method works better for pain relief during the procedure.
Hillerød, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07552766RecruitingPhase 4
Lidocaine infusion to reduce opioid use in arm fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a pain-relieving medication called lidocaine through an IV during arm fracture surgery can reduce how much opioid pain medication (like morphine) children need after surgery. The goal is to help manage pain better while using fewer opioids.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 3–18 - NCT06769373Recruiting
Whirlpool and contrast bath for CRPS after wrist fracture
This study tests whether warm water whirlpool baths or alternating hot and cold water baths (contrast bath) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a wrist fracture that was treated without surgery.
Afyonkarahisar, AfyonkarahisarAges 18–70 - NCT06857110Recruiting
Nerve block vs. hematoma block for wrist fracture pain
This study compares two ways to manage pain when a broken wrist is realigned without surgery: a nerve block near the elbow vs. a numbing injection directly into the fracture. It may help researchers find which method works better and is more comfortable for you.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06913894Recruiting
Therapy for wrist fracture: supervised vs home vs none
This trial compares three options after a simple wrist fracture: supervised physical therapy, a home exercise program, or no formal therapy. It aims to find which approach helps younger adults recover best.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06931418Recruiting
Wrist fracture recovery exercise study
This study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT07042139Recruiting
No reduction vs. closed reduction for wrist fractures in older adults
This trial compares two approaches for treating a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) in people 65 and older: no reduction (letting the bone heal without realigning it) versus closed reduction (realigning the bone without surgery). It aims to see if skipping reduction leads to similar outcomes and avoids unnecessary procedures.
ViborgAges 65 years+ - NCT07054463Recruiting
Fu's needling for healing wrist fractures
This study tests whether adding Fu's subcutaneous needling (a special needle technique) to standard care (splinting after a bone realignment) helps heal wrist fractures faster. It's for adults who recently broke their wrist and have already had the bone set without surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–85 - NCT07120763RecruitingPhase 3
Better pain control for kids with broken wrists
This trial compares different ways to manage pain for children who come to the emergency room with a broken wrist that needs to be reset. The goal is to find which pain medicine or numbing method works best and is safest for kids.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 3–17 - NCT07291505Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for distal radius fracture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting distal radius fracture studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a distal radius fracture trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a distal radius fracture trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
