Neck brace study for stable fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a neck brace (orthosis) works well for treating stable neck fractures without surgery. It may be an option if you have a recent, mild neck break and are healthy enough for non-surgical care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares wearing a back brace (“orthosis”) versus not wearing one after surgery for a traumatic back fracture. It looks at whether the brace improves recovery and reduces problems after the operation.
This trial is comparing two treatments for a specific type of neck fracture (odontoid fracture) in people over 70: wearing a rigid neck collar versus having surgery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery and quality of life.
This trial tests how different back braces affect how your spine moves. It is looking for healthy young adults to see if these braces change the way you bend or move your spine.
This trial tests different treatments for a specific type of broken collar bone (the outer end, near the shoulder) where the bone pieces are out of place. If you have this type of fracture, the study aims to find the best way to help it heal.
This study compares different treatments for spine fractures caused by minor falls or weak bones. It looks at vertebroplasty (a procedure to stabilize the bone) and bracing with physical therapy to see which helps people recover better.
This study tests how wearing a shoulder brace affects joint movement and coordination in people with clavicle fractures or severe rotator cuff tears, compared to healthy volunteers. It may help understand the best ways to immobilize the shoulder after injury.
