Wrist fusion surgery for chronic wrist pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a surgery that fuses two small bones in the wrist to reduce pain and improve function in people with SNAC wrist. It may help if you've tried other treatments and they didn't work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two surgical options for certain types of advanced wrist arthritis—one with partial wrist fusion alone, and one with partial wrist fusion plus removal of a small wrist bone. It may help find which approach works better for pain and function after surgery.
This trial compares two types of wrist surgery for osteoarthritis in the wrist bones (SLAC/SNAC stage II–III). It may help you and your surgeon choose the procedure that best improves pain and wrist function for your specific wrist arthritis pattern.
This study follows patients for one year after wrist fusion surgery to see how well the procedure works. It may help if you have severe wrist arthritis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a surgical technique to repair a torn ligament in the wrist (the scapholunate ligament) using a part of a nearby tendon. It may be an option for people with this specific wrist injury who meet the health requirements.
This study looks at how well a specific wrist surgery (dorsal ligamentoplasty with an internal brace) works over time for people with scapholunate instability, a condition where the bones in the wrist are not stable. It aims to understand the long-term outcomes and help doctors know if this surgery is a good option.
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
