Summary

This study tests whether a special LED light bracelet, used at home for 12 minutes a day, can improve recovery after wrist fracture surgery. Forty-two adults will either get the active light device or an inactive one, along with standard exercises. Researchers will check wrist function, pain, and healing over 12 weeks.
