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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05131685Recruiting
Child wrist fracture study comparing treatment for certain breaks
This study looks at treatment for children’s wrist (distal radius) fractures that are very displaced but not involving the growth plate. It may help doctors find the best way to reset and stabilize the bone when the fracture is recent.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 4–10 - NCT04323410Recruiting
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 - NCT02346929Recruiting
Hematoma Block for Broken Wrist Pain Relief
This trial studies an injection called a “hematoma block” to numb pain from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It may help reduce pain while you’re in the emergency department.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT07440251Recruiting
Double fixation for broken lower ulna bone
This trial tests if fixing a specific type of broken wrist bone (the ulna) with both a flexible rod and a small plate helps it heal better. It may be an option if you have a displaced or unstable ulna fracture, with or without a radius fracture.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06365710Recruiting
Physiotherapy vs telerehab after wrist fracture surgery
This study compares in-person physiotherapy with remote telerehabilitation after a specific type of wrist fracture surgery. It aims to see if doing rehab at home works as well as going to a clinic.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–65 - NCT06532253RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Long-term safety of NVDX3 implant
This study checks the long-term safety of the NVDX3 implant. You can join if you already received this implant in a previous trial and are willing to have a yearly check-up for 10 more years.
LuxembourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06913933Recruiting
Comparing two splints for wrist stiffness after a broken wrist
This study compares two types of splints (one that stays still and one that lets you move a little) to help people regain wrist motion after a broken wrist has healed. It may test whether a dynamic splint works better than a static one for persistent stiffness.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT06913920Recruiting
Comparing therapies for hand swelling and pain after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether using mechanical devices (like compression or massage) reduces swelling and pain better than standard care after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you recover hand function more comfortably.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT05046600Recruiting
Hand and wrist implant registry for eligible adult patients
This registry collects information about people who need hand or wrist surgery using specific Arthrex implants. It helps the company and doctors learn how these implants are used and how patients do during healing.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06384456RecruitingPhase 4
TXA vs Placebo for Pain After Wrist Surgery
This study tests if tranexamic acid (TXA), a medicine used to reduce bleeding, can help lessen pain right after wrist fracture surgery. You may be able to join if you had breast cancer and radiation at least a year ago, are not currently on active cancer treatment, and don't take blood thinners or daily strong pain pills.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06251206RecruitingPhase 1
Early education after wrist fracture surgery
This trial tests whether teaching patients about daily activities soon after wrist fracture surgery helps them recover better. It is for adults who had surgery for a broken wrist and are within 2 weeks of their operation.
Washington, VirginiaAges 18–110 - NCT05650996RecruitingPhase 1
Early hand therapy participation after broken wrist
This Phase 1 study looks at whether starting hand activity soon after a distal radius fracture helps improve recovery outcomes. You may be able to join if your broken wrist is treated with a cast and you can report your symptoms and function reliably in English.
Washington, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07665762RecruitingPhase 3
Numbing medicine for arm surgery pain prevention
This trial compares two additives to standard numbing medicine given before wrist fracture surgery to see which better prevents severe pain. You may qualify if you have risk factors for hard-to-control pain after surgery.
Hong KongAges 18–90 - NCT05156749Recruiting
Short vs long casts for certain forearm fractures in kids
This study compares short-arm versus long-arm fiberglass casts to see which one works best for healing certain forearm bone injuries in children. It may help families choose a cast type that supports proper healing while aiming for comfort and safe recovery.

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.
