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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07276334Enrolling by invitation
Same-day discharge vs. hospital stay for wrist fracture surgery
This trial compares going home the same day after wrist fracture surgery versus staying in the hospital. It aims to see if same-day discharge is safe and effective for recovery.
Ẕerifin, IsraelAges 18–120 - 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.
MölndalAges 16 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07291505Recruiting
Fear of movement study in distal radius fracture patients
This study looks at fear of movement in adults who have a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) and were treated without surgery. It aims to understand how this fear affects recovery.
DenizliAges 18–65 - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT05684042Recruiting
Help us record and study distal wrist fracture surgeries
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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for radius fracture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 41 recruiting 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 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 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.
