NCT ID NCT06453447
First seen May 07, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a short course of the anti-inflammatory drug prednisone can help prevent or ease complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after a wrist fracture. About 40 adults who have surgery for a broken wrist and are at risk for CRPS will receive either prednisone or a placebo for two weeks. Researchers will track how many people join and complete the study, and check if CRPS resolves and opioid use decreases.
