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 looks at whether training the healthy arm can help you recover better after surgery for a broken wrist. You'll join a rehabilitation program, and researchers will compare two different types of exercise to see which helps more.
This study evaluates how well you recover wrist function and body awareness after surgery for a wrist fracture. It helps see which rehabilitation exercises work best.
This trial tests whether adding sensory training (exercises that improve touch and feeling) to standard rehabilitation helps people recover hand function after a wrist fracture. It may benefit patients who have completed the healing phase and want to improve sensation and movement.
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.
This study compares two types of splints (one that stays still and one that lets you move a little) to help people regain wrist motion after a broken wrist has healed. It may test whether a dynamic splint works better than a static one for persistent stiffness.
