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

This trial tests a questionnaire called the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool to see if it works well for basketball players with a history of ankle sprains. It may help identify players who need extra ankle support.
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 study compares ultrasound imaging with what surgeons see during ankle surgery for a type of injury called syndesmotic injury (damage to the ligaments that hold the ankle bones together). It may help doctors better plan treatment for these fractures.
This study tests a new ultrasound device that helps doctors see broken bones in the wrist, forearm, ankle, or lower leg, using sound waves instead of X-rays. If you are getting an X-ray for one of these injuries, your images may be checked with this new device to see if it works as well.
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.
