Therapy for wrist fracture: supervised vs home vs none
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have a broken wrist that was treated with a cast (no surgery needed).

- You do not have other serious health problems like arthritis or nerve damage in that arm.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits and follow the study plan.

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.
This trial tests whether using mechanical devices (like compression or massage) reduces swelling and pain better than standard care after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you recover hand function more comfortably.
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 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 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 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.
