Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

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.

Summary

This study looks at how having your arm in a cast or splint after an injury changes your brain activity and recovery. About 30 adults with wrist or hand injuries will have their brain waves measured with a safe, painless EEG test at three points: when the cast goes on, when it comes off, and four weeks later. The goal is to learn how immobilization affects the brain so doctors can design better rehab programs.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of adult patients requiring orthopedic immobilization of the upper limb following fracture or soft tissue injury. Participants are consecutively referred from the traumatology units of hospitals in Málaga and undergo clinical and neurophysiological evaluation under supervision of the research team. The study population represents individuals undergoing routine clinical immobilization and subsequent rehabilitation as part of standard orthopedic management.

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 years or older. * Radiologically confirmed upper limb fracture (distal radius, proximal humerus, metacarpals, phalanges, or carpal bones) or soft tissue injury (e.g., tendinopathy, triangular fibrocartilage complex injury). * Requirement of orthopedic immobilization of the wrist/hand extending to the proximal two-thirds of the forearm for a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 8 weeks. * Ability to understand study procedures and follow instructions. * Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * History of neurological disorders (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury). * Current use of psychoactive or anticonvulsant medication. * Bilateral upper limb injuries. * Wrist fractures requiring elbow immobilization. * Previous upper limb fracture or instability within the last 2 years. * Cognitive impairment preventing adequate participation.
