Nerve-Cutting procedure aims to stop wrist pain after bad breaks
NCT ID NCT07393061
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure called partial wrist denervation, done at the same time as standard fracture repair, to see if it reduces the chance of long-term wrist pain. Researchers are enrolling 56 adults with severe, shattered wrist fractures. The main goal is to measure pain and function using the Mayo Clinic Wrist Score.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Partial wrist denervation (a surgical procedure that cuts specific nerves in the wrist)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to prevent long-term wrist pain after severe fractures, improving daily function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no comparison group, so results may not be widely applicable. The procedure itself carries surgical risks like infection or nerve damage.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria:• Age from 18 * Fracture Pattern: Acute, comminuted intra-articular distal radius fractures (AO/OTA Type C2 or C3). * Surgical Context: Procedure performed as a primary adjunct during initial open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Exclusion Criteria:Active local infection over the surgical site. * Compromised soft tissue envelope that precludes safe dissection. * Vascular injury or compromise requiring repair. * Pre-existing neurological deficit (e.g., complex regional pain syndrome, major peripheral nerve injury).
