Summary
This study will test whether using a small vibration massager can help control pain and reduce the need for opioid painkillers after surgery for a broken wrist. About 100 adults who have had wrist fracture repair will use the device and report their pain levels and medication use. The goal is to find a safer, non-drug way to manage post-surgery pain.

What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 100 participants. The vibration tool may not provide meaningful pain relief, and results may not apply to other surgeries or patients.
