Brain scans reveal hidden effects of arm immobilization

NCT ID NCT07428304

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how having your arm in a cast or splint after an injury changes your brain activity and recovery. About 30 adults with wrist or hand injuries will have their brain waves measured with a safe, painless EEG test 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.
