Vibration tool for pain after wrist fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a vibration tool after surgery can help reduce pain for people who had a broken wrist repaired with a plate. If you qualify, you would have a short, simple addition to your usual recovery plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a broken wrist (distal radius fracture) that was fixed with surgery using a single plate on the palm side of the wrist.
- You are not having any other surgery at the same time (like carpal tunnel release) or a different type of plate.
- You can read, write, and follow directions in English.
- You are willing to have hand therapy at Northwestern Medicine's Hand Surgery clinic.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study tests whether adding whole-body vibration to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after a wrist fracture that was treated with a cast or splint. It may improve healing and movement.
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.
This study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
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.
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.
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.
