NCT ID NCT07428304

First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at how having your arm in a cast or splint after an injury changes your brain activity and how well you recover. Researchers will use a painless EEG cap to measure brain signals in 30 adults at three points: when the cast goes on, when it comes off, and four weeks later. The goal is to learn how immobilization affects the brain so doctors can design better rehab programs.
