Whirlpool and contrast bath for CRPS after wrist fracture
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether warm water whirlpool baths or alternating hot and cold water baths (contrast bath) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a wrist fracture that was treated without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type 1 after a wrist fracture that was treated with a cast or splint (not surgery).
- You have not had any surgery on the same arm or hand before.
- You do not have other serious health problems like heart disease, active infection, or skin disease on the affected arm.
- You have no other fractures or injuries in the same arm (like an ulna or carpal bone fracture).

This study looks at how your brain and body heal after a wrist fracture. By joining, you'll help doctors understand recovery better, which could improve care for future patients.
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 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 trial tests if an intravenous medicine called AMBTX-01 (neridronate) can help people with early-stage Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) type 1. It focuses on those whose affected limb feels warm, looks red, and is swollen.
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 study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
