ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying whether taking vitamin C can help prevent a condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) that can develop after a fracture in the wrist, known as a distal radius fracture. CRPS is a painful condition that can occur after an injury, surgery, or sometimes for no clear reason. Researchers believe that vitamin C might help protect against this pain syndrome, which is why they are investigating its effectiveness.

To participate in this study, you should have sustained a specific type of wrist fracture and be between the ages of 18 and 74. However, if you have multiple injuries, certain nerve or blood vessel injuries, or other specific health issues, you may not be eligible. If chosen for the study, you will receive vitamin C and be monitored to see if it helps prevent CRPS. The trial is currently looking for participants, and your involvement could contribute to finding new ways to help those suffering from this painful condition.
