Wrist puncture location may reduce pain during heart procedure
NCT ID NCT07060820
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if the exact spot where a needle enters the wrist affects the chance of a painful artery spasm during a heart catheterization. 380 adults were randomly assigned to have the puncture either very close to the wrist bone or a bit farther away. The goal was to find the best spot to reduce spasms and improve comfort.
