Ultrasound to check how severe a new ankle sprain is
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether an ultrasound scan can help doctors judge how severe a first-time ankle sprain is. It may help guide treatment and follow-up for people whose sprain affects work or sports.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- This is your first ankle sprain
- Your ankle sprain happened during sports or affected your work
- You do not have a fracture (broken bone) in the ankle
- You do not have a dislocation (bone out of place) in the ankle
- You are not known to have unusually loose joints (hyperlaxity)
- You have not had an ankle sprain before

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a smartphone “recovery guidance” app can help children and young adults heal after a recent ankle inversion injury. It may help with home recovery steps and decision-making during the first days after injury.
This trial compares two types of exercise programs (hip-focused vs ankle-focused) to see which one better improves leg function in athletes with chronic ankle instability. If you are a professional athlete with a history of ankle sprains and your ankle still feels unstable or gives way, this study might help you get stronger and more stable.
This trial tests special socks with tiny sensors that may track your ankle healing after a sprain or minor fracture. Researchers want to see if these socks give useful information to help you recover.
This study tests whether a special CT scan with gentle stress maneuvers can better find ankle ligament injury (syndesmotic instability) after a sprain. If you had a recent ankle sprain and exam suggests this specific injury, the scan may help guide the right treatment.
This study looks at therapies for a first-time mild ankle sprain (Grade I). It may help you recover faster and avoid future problems.
This trial tests whether a new ultrasound method (speckle tracking) can measure soft tissue movement and strain to help guide physical therapy. It is looking for three groups: male pitchers, people with a foot tendon problem needing surgery, and people who had ACL knee surgery.
