Early education after wrist fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.

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.
This study evaluates how well your wrist functions and how your brain perceives your arm during rehabilitation after surgery for a wrist fracture. It may help improve recovery programs for people with similar injuries.
This study tests whether exercising only your uninjured arm can improve recovery and strength after surgery for a broken wrist. It may offer a new way to help healing without putting stress on the injured arm.
This trial tests whether special sensory exercises can help improve hand function after a wrist fracture has healed. It is for people currently in rehabilitation after a distal radius fracture.
This study tests a treatment called neuromuscular stimulation (using small electrical pulses to help muscles work) for people who had surgery for a broken wrist. It aims to see if this treatment helps improve recovery of wrist function after surgery.
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.
