Nerve stimulation for recovery after wrist fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a mild electrical stimulation of the muscles and nerves can help improve hand and wrist function after surgery for a broken wrist. It is for people who had a specific type of surgery (a plate on the palm side) and are otherwise healthy in that arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had surgery for a broken wrist using a metal plate placed on the palm side of the wrist.
- Your wrist fracture was confirmed with X-rays or CT scans.
- You did not have other major injuries at the same time (like head or chest trauma).
- You have no other surgeries on the same arm or wrist in the past.
- You do not have a history of weakness or stiffness in that arm from conditions like stroke or joint contracture.
- You had no major complications after surgery, such as nerve or blood vessel damage or a large bruise.

This trial tests whether adding sensory training (exercises that improve touch and feeling) to standard rehabilitation helps people recover hand function after a wrist fracture. It may benefit patients who have completed the healing phase and want to improve sensation and movement.
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 study looks at whether training the healthy arm can help you recover better after surgery for a broken wrist. You'll join a rehabilitation program, and researchers will compare two different types of exercise to see which helps more.
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 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 a mild electrical stimulation to the nerves in your arm to help repair a recently damaged median or ulnar nerve (nerves that control hand movement). It might help your hand function recover better after surgery or injury.
