Wrist fracture recovery: early activity may speed healing
NCT ID NCT05650996
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether doing daily activities early after a wrist fracture (treated with a cast) helps people recover better. 64 adults will be split into two groups: one gets instructions on how to safely use their injured hand, the other gets only cast care advice. Researchers will measure hand function, pain, and fear of movement over 3 months.

Active substance
behavioral intervention: early daily activity instruction
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that using your injured wrist early in a cast helps you recover function and reduces fear of movement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study. The benefit may be small or not apply to everyone. It only tests a behavioral change, not a drug or device.
