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 This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether using virtual reality and action observation therapy during the time a wrist or hand is in a cast can improve recovery. Participants watch first-person videos of hand movements through a VR headset and then practice those movements. The goal is to prevent negative brain changes that happen when a limb is immobilized, leading to faster and more complete recovery.

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 and action observation therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a new rehabilitation method that speeds up recovery and reduces long-term pain and stiffness after wrist or hand injuries.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is also time-intensive and requires special equipment.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-70 years old. * Diagnosis of traumatic wrist and/or hand injury within 5 days of injury onset. * Traumatic injury types include: distal radius fractures, scaphoid fractures, metacarpal fractures, phalangeal fractures, other carpal bone fractures, tendinous injuries, or ligamentous injuries. * Require immobilization with cast or splint for 2-8 weeks. * Ability to provide written informed consent. * Ability to understand and follow study instructions. * Sufficient mobility and residual manual capacity to participate in virtual reality sessions and physical assessments.
