Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07426926Recruiting
Home light therapy for wrist fracture recovery
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT07429344Recruiting
Ultrasound test to spot elbow fractures in kids 5-15
This trial checks if a simple bedside ultrasound can safely rule out fractures in children and teens who hurt their elbow. It aims to reduce unnecessary X-rays and stress for young patients and their families.
AmbergAges 5–15 - NCT07523386Recruiting
Cannulated Screws vs. K-wires for Wrist Fracture Surgery
This study compares two surgical methods for fixing broken wrist bones in adults. Researchers want to see which approach—using special screws or wires—works better for healing and function.
Sohag, Naser CityAges 18–60 - NCT07538323Recruiting
Wrist Strengthening Exercise Program After Fracture
This trial compares a structured wrist strengthening exercise program (WISE) to standard care advice for people recovering from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). The goal is to see if guided exercises help reduce pain and improve how well your wrist works.
Aarhus NAges 50 years+ - NCT07234370Enrolling by invitation
Distal radial fracture: 4 vs 6 weeks in a cast
This trial compares healing after 4 weeks versus 6 weeks of wearing a cast for a broken wrist. It tests whether a shorter time in a cast can work just as well and help you get back to normal faster.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–50 - NCT07219979Enrolling by invitation
Remote monitoring for wrist fracture recovery
This trial tests if checking your recovery with a smartphone or computer at home works as well as in-person visits after wrist fracture surgery. You would use a device to share updates with your care team instead of traveling to the clinic.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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.
