Recruiting studies
- 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.

Osteopathic manipulation vs. wrist brace for carpal tunnel
This study tests whether osteopathic manipulation (a gentle hands-on treatment) works better than wearing a wrist brace for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild or moderate carpal tunnel and haven't had surgery, this trial might help find a non-surgical option.

Custom 3D-Printed Wrist Support for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
This trial tests a custom-made wrist brace designed with 3D printing technology to help stabilize loose, overly flexible wrists in people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The goal is to see if this personalized support can improve wrist function and reduce pain or instability.
Lowell, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT07576829Recruiting
Wrist and shoulder exercises for tennis elbow pain
This study tests whether specific wrist and shoulder exercises can reduce pain and improve grip strength in people with tennis elbow (pain on the outside of the elbow). You'd do resistance exercises and stabilization work to see if they help you regain function.
SādiqābādAges 30–50 - NCT07633769Recruiting
Virtual Reality Therapy for Hand and Wrist Injuries
This study tests whether using virtual reality (immersive computer simulations) during rehabilitation can help you recover better after a traumatic hand or wrist injury. The goal is to see if this approach improves how well your hand works and feels after healing.
MálagaAges 18–75 - NCT04137237Recruiting
Study of carbon hand and wrist implants after surgery
This trial follows people who receive a special hand or wrist implant made of pyrocarbon (a strong, durable material). It aims to measure outcomes over time to see how well the implant works and how patients do functionally.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04074863Recruiting
Surgery for painful wrist-joint arthritis with stable joint
This study looks at a surgical procedure to help people with painful arthritis where two forearm bones meet at the wrist. It’s for people whose joint is stable, aiming to improve pain and hand function.
Lillehammer, OpplandAges 30–75 - NCT04348253Recruiting
Study of surgery for scapholunate ligament wrist instability
This study looks at people aged 18–60 who have ongoing, painful wrist instability from a fully torn scapholunate ligament. It may help improve surgical approaches by carefully selecting patients whose ligament tear is complete and causing measurable joint looseness.
AarhusAges 18–60 - NCT03513770RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing how the body controls blood pressure and heart rate
This early research trial looks at how your body’s automatic control system manages blood pressure and heart function. You may be asked to undergo tests to measure these responses, and the study aims to understand control of the circulation (blood flow).
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 21–35 - NCT07016815Recruiting
Remote monitoring to adjust heart failure medications
This trial tests whether checking in remotely (telemonitoring) helps doctors adjust heart failure medications more effectively. It is for people newly diagnosed with heart failure who have reduced pumping strength and signs of fluid buildup.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 19 years+ - NCT05708430RecruitingPhase 2
Test stem-cell mixture injection for painful thumb arthritis
This Phase 2 study tests how safe an injection made from your own body fat cells (stroma vascular fraction) is in people with painful arthritis at the base of the thumb. It also looks at whether pain and hand function improve after the injection.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07049757Recruiting
Healthy Family Project: Reducing tobacco smoke in Chinese American homes
This study helps Chinese American families reduce tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure. Smokers, family members, and community health workers are all welcome.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06493318Recruiting
Wrist ligament surgery study: long-term results
This study looks at how well a specific wrist surgery (dorsal ligamentoplasty with an internal brace) works over time for people with scapholunate instability, a condition where the bones in the wrist are not stable. It aims to understand the long-term outcomes and help doctors know if this surgery is a good option.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07217405RecruitingPhase 4
Radiation or steroid shot for hand osteoarthritis pain
This trial compares low-dose radiation therapy to a corticosteroid injection to see which works better for hand osteoarthritis pain. It's for people 50 and older with moderate to severe hand OA who have significant pain when using their hand.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 50 years+ - NCT06633978Recruiting
Digital tools for brain health in older adults
This study tests if using digital tools (like apps or computer programs) can improve memory, thinking, mood, stress, and sleep in healthy older adults. You will use the tools at home or in the lab, and researchers will track changes.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60–85 - NCT06139731Recruiting
Physiotherapy for arm burn recovery
This trial tests if physical therapy can improve arm function after burns covering at least 10% of your body and requiring surgery. It may help you regain movement and strength in your burned arm.
KaunasAges 18–65 - NCT07737431Recruiting
Wrist-hand rehab device test for stroke survivors
This trial tests a new device that combines sensor and muscle signals to help you control wrist and hand movements after a stroke. It aims to improve your coordination and function.
Hung Hom, KowloonAges 30–70 - NCT03694626Recruiting
Test a light-response study to measure and track light sensitivity
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–80 - NCT04460521RecruitingPhase 4
NAC pills and night splints for carpal tunnel without surgery
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04784832Recruiting
Brain-magnetic training study to improve movement learning
This study tests whether a brain-magnetic (TMS) training approach can improve how people learn and control movements. It’s done in healthy adults to understand how mental training affects motor learning.
DijonAges 18–60 - NCT04835857Recruiting
Testing a cuff-less wrist monitor versus a regular blood pressure cuff
This study compares a cuff-less wrist blood pressure device to the usual arm cuff. You may be able to help test whether the wrist device reads blood pressure accurately and safely.
Newton, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT04855214Recruiting
