Wrist Reduction Intervention: Supracondylar Technique for Radial Nerve Block vs. Hematoma Block (WRIST Block Study)

Enrolling by invitation · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Wrist Fracture

In brief

The purpose of this study is to compare different types of local anesthesia-a supracondylar radial nerve block, a hematoma block, or a combination of the two-for reducing pain in people with a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). This is being done to find out which method provides better pain relief after the injury and during treatment in the emergency room.
