Shock wave therapy for CRPS after wrist fracture
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether sound wave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain from a chronic pain condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that started after a wrist fracture. It might help reduce pain and improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether warm water whirlpool baths or alternating hot and cold water baths (contrast bath) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) after a wrist fracture that was treated without surgery.
This study tests whether adding whole-body vibration to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after a wrist fracture that was treated with a cast or splint. It may improve healing and movement.
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help reduce muscle tightness in the wrist and hand after a stroke. It may be an option if you have had one stroke, are between 35 and 65 years old, and still have stiffness that bothers you.
This trial tests whether shockwave therapy can reduce muscle tightness in the elbow and wrist caused by spinal cord injury. It may help make daily tasks like dressing or bathing easier.
This study tests whether adding a special sound wave therapy (called ESWT) to standard care (like exercise and education) can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with long-term low back pain. It is designed for people whose back pain does not have a specific known cause.
This trial compares two hand therapy techniques — contrast baths (alternating warm and cool water) and compression with whirlpool therapy — to see which better eases early-stage complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after a hand or wrist injury. If you've had hand or wrist trauma and are still in pain, this study might help you find a treatment that reduces discomfort and improves hand use.
