What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
virtual reality-supported neuromuscular rehabilitation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that virtual reality-based rehab improves wrist function and reduces pain better than standard physiotherapy for people with scapholunate instability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is non-invasive, but the virtual reality approach may not prove superior to conventional therapy.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
