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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study compared two ways to numb the wrist before setting a broken bone: a hematoma block (injecting anesthetic into the fracture site) and a brachial plexus block (numbing the arm nerves with ultrasound guidance). Researchers enrolled 90 adults with displaced wrist fractures to see which method provides better pain control and bone alignment. The goal is to find a simpler, safer, and more affordable option for common wrist fractures.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Hematoma block (local anesthetic injected into fracture site) and brachial plexus block (ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia)
What this could lead to
If one method proves as effective and safer, it could become the preferred choice for reducing wrist fractures, especially in settings with limited resources.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study (90 people) comparing two established techniques. The results may not apply to all fracture types or healthcare settings.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adult male or female patients in the age range of skeletally mature (18 years and above) 2. Displaced distal radius fracture, requiring manipulation 3. Only extra-articular fractures. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Open fractures (Gustilo Anderson open fracture Type I, II and III), intra-articular fractures, and comminuted fractures. 2. Undisplaced distal radial fractures which do not require manipulation. 3. Patients who have a history of an adverse reaction to local anesthetics. 4. Polytrauma, multiple injuries
