Fu's needling for healing wrist fractures
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding Fu's subcutaneous needling (a special needle technique) to standard care (splinting after a bone realignment) helps heal wrist fractures faster. It's for adults who recently broke their wrist and have already had the bone set without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- Your wrist fracture happened within the last 2 weeks and is not open or caused by disease.
- You have had a closed reduction (bone put back in place without surgery) and are wearing a small splint, and it's been less than 1 week.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners.
- You have never had Fu's subcutaneous needling before, and you are not allergic or prone to fainting with needles.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no skin problems where the needle would go.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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 study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
