Sponsor's own description
This double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the adjuvant effect of home-based photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on the rehabilitation of surgically treated DRFs combined with an unsupervised home exercise program. A total of 42 participants will be randomly allocated into two groups. The Control Group will undergo the standard surgical procedure, perform the prescribed home exercises recommended by the hospital service, and use an inactive LED plate (photobiomodulation device). The PBM Group will follow the same surgical and exercise protocols but will use an active PBM device. Home exercises will begin 24 hours after surgery and should be performed twice daily for a total of 12 weeks. The device will be applied once daily to the wrist for 12 minutes (6 minutes on the dorsal side and 6 minutes on the palmar side). The primary outcome will be functional wrist assessment using the QuickDASH (Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand) questionnaire at 2 weeks. Secondary outcomes will include wrist range of motion, grip strength, wrist function, and pain (assessed using the PRWE-BR instrument), as well as fracture healing. Assessments will be performed at 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks post-surgery, except for bone consolidation (assessed starting at week 4) and for pain and range of motion, which will also be evaluated at 24 hours.
