NCT ID NCT07538323
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a therapist-guided exercise program helps people aged 50 and older recover better from a wrist fracture compared to usual care advice. Participants will either receive supervised exercises or standard self-management advice. The main goal is to see if the exercise group reports less pain and better wrist function six months after the injury.
