What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding whole-body vibration to standard physical therapy improves wrist function and sensation in people recovering from a distal radius fracture treated with a cast. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either vibration plus rehab or rehab alone for eight weeks. Researchers will measure pain, range of motion, grip strength, and fine motor skills to see if vibration speeds recovery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Whole-body vibration therapy using a Power Plate device at 35 Hz and 2 mm amplitude, plus conventional rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to speed up wrist recovery after a fracture.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 66 participants. The added benefit of vibration over standard rehab alone may be modest or absent.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 66 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 to 65 years. * Unilateral distal radius fracture treated conservatively with cast or splint. * Completion of the immobilization period with radiologically confirmed stable callus formation. * Referred for physiotherapy after conservative treatment. * Able to understand study procedures and provide written informed consent. * Initiation of rehabilitation within 72 hours after cast removal. Exclusion Criteria: * Previous surgery or severe trauma to the affected upper extremity. * Open wound or active infection at the fracture site. * Peripheral neuropathy or severe neurological disorders. * Vestibular disorders or conditions contraindicating whole-body vibration therapy. * Pregnancy. * Severe osteoporosis. * Active inflammatory or vascular disease affecting the upper extremity. * Cognitive impairment preventing participation in the study. * Inability to attend the rehabilitation program regularly.
