Ultrasound imaging for wrist and ankle injuries
This study tests a new ultrasound device that helps doctors see broken bones in the wrist, forearm, ankle, or lower leg, using sound waves instead of X-rays. If you are getting an X-ray for one of these injuries, your images may be checked with this new device to see if it works as well.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 5 years+ - NCT07861958Recruiting
Wrist brace design for children with brain injury
This study asks children aged 6 to 14 who currently use a wrist brace to help design a better one. The goal is to make braces that are more comfortable and easier to use.
Bosisio PariniAges 6–14 - 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 - NCT07839975Recruiting
Wrist device study for college students' fitness
This study uses a wrist-worn device to measure college students' physical fitness and connects it to traditional Chinese medicine body type. It may help show how your personal health profile relates to your exercise ability.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–25 - NCT07807852Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for CRPS after wrist fracture
This trial tests whether sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from a chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that started after a wrist fracture. It might help reduce pain and improve recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07773155RecruitingPhase 4
Pain control after hand or wrist surgery: nerve block with or without ketorolac
This study tests two different pain relief methods after hand or wrist surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus an anti-inflammatory medication called ketorolac. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07772219Recruiting
Holding technique for women having a planned cesarean delivery
This study compares two ways of holding the string during a planned cesarean delivery to see which one is more comfortable or effective. It may help improve the experience for mothers during the procedure.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT06365710Recruiting

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 - NCT07626632Recruiting
Tyler Twist vs. Eccentric Exercises for Tennis Elbow
This study compares two exercise approaches for treating lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) in people aged 20–40. It tests whether a specific twisting exercise called the Tyler Twist works better than eccentric exercises (where you lengthen a muscle under tension) to reduce pain and improve grip strength.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT06368206Recruiting
Testing a fingertip light sensor for blood pressure
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
LausanneAges 21–85 - NCT07553273Recruiting
Vibration to reduce pain from steroid hand and arm injections
This study tests whether applying gentle vibration during steroid injections into the hands, wrists, or elbows can reduce injection pain. If vibration works, it could make these commonly prescribed treatments more comfortable for patients.
Galveston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07544914Recruiting
Magnetic Stimulation for Elbow and Wrist Chronic Pain
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic therapy applied to the skin can reduce chronic pain from tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or carpal tunnel syndrome. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerves and may help relieve pain without medication or surgery.
