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 Results may not be published yet.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

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 follows 100 adults who had surgery for hand or forearm injuries to see if fear of movement (kinesiophobia) affects how well they recover. Participants fill out questionnaires and take hand function tests over 12 weeks. The goal is to understand if early fear levels can predict who might have a harder time healing, so doctors can offer better support.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If this study finds a link between fear of movement and poor recovery, it could lead to new rehab programs that address both mental and physical aspects of hand injury healing.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for associations, so it cannot prove that fear causes worse outcomes. The results may not apply to all hand injuries.

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 100 people

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

Expected to start

Willingness to participate in follow-up assessments at 8 and 12 weeks after injury. Exclusion Criteria: Age younger than 18 years. Cognitive impairment, severe psychiatric disorder, or communication problems preventing completion of questionnaires. Previous major injury, surgery, or permanent functional impairment of the affected upper extremity. Polytrauma or additional injuries that may substantially affect upper extremity function or rehabilitation outcomes.
