In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This single-blinded, randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the added benefit of mechanical modalities (continuous passive motion (CPM) and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC)) when integrated into standard therapy for managing postoperative edema and pain in patients undergoing distal radius fracture (DRF) fixation. The primary outcomes are edema volume (measured via volumeter) and pain intensity (Numeric Pain Rating Scale, NPRS) at 6 weeks post-operation. Secondary outcomes include wrist/forearm range of motion (ROM), grip strength, Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), and adverse events.

Inclusion Criteria: Adults aged 18 years or older. Undergoing surgical treatment for distal radius fracture with stable internal fixation. Able to initiate formal rehabilitation approximately 2 weeks postoperatively. Willing and able to attend in-clinic therapy sessions at the outpatient hand therapy center. Exclusion Criteria: Unstable fixation or need for further surgical intervention. Pre-existing conditions that would significantly affect upper limb function (e.g., severe arthritis, neurological disorders).
