Home light therapy for wrist fracture recovery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old
- You have a simple, closed break of the radius bone in your wrist that needs surgery (not a complex break with many small pieces)
- You haven't had any previous wrist injuries, nerve damage, or permanent weakness in that arm
- Your skin is not unusually sensitive to light
- You are not pregnant

This study tests a strengthening exercise program for recovery after wrist fracture surgery. It may help you regain function faster.
This trial studies whether a vibration tool can reduce pain after surgery for a distal radius (wrist) fracture. You may be asked to use the tool and to attend occupational therapy at Northwestern’s Hand Surgery clinic.
This trial tests if checking your recovery with a smartphone or computer at home works as well as in-person visits after wrist fracture surgery. You would use a device to share updates with your care team instead of traveling to the clinic.
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 compares a structured wrist strengthening exercise program (WISE) to standard care advice for people recovering from a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). The goal is to see if guided exercises help reduce pain and improve how well your wrist works.
This study tests if standing on a special vibration platform (whole-body vibration) can improve strength and movement after a wrist fracture. It is for people who are just starting physical therapy after their cast comes off.
