Sound-based treatment for fracture pain
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This early-stage study tests a device that uses sound to reduce pain from a bone fracture and improve daily quality of life. If you have mild-to-moderate fracture pain and can follow the device routine, you may be able to try this treatment while avoiding other pain medicines and fracture-area therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a doctor-diagnosed bone fracture.
- You are age 18 to 80.
- Your fracture pain is rated 3 to 7 out of 10, and it affects your daily life.
- You must be able to use the device every day at home (you can’t use it while bathing or letting it submerge).
- You must not use opioid or non-opioid pain medicines during the study, and you must avoid other treatments on the painful area (like TENS, EMS, or ultrasound).
- Do not use creams, gels, or other skin products on the treatment area unless the study provides them.

This study tests whether using a wearable ultrasound device at home every day can reduce mild-to-moderate knee arthritis pain. The device delivers high-frequency sound waves directly to your knee to see if it improves pain and quality of life.
This trial tests a 60-day nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve mobility after a recent spine fracture caused by osteoporosis. It may help patients who still have significant pain despite over-the-counter pain relievers.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app can help patients manage opioid pain medication safely after being discharged from the emergency room with a broken bone. If you have a simple fracture and plan to take opioids for pain, the app may help you track your use and recovery.
This trial tests if a device that delivers small vibrations to your ear can help reduce pain from fibromyalgia. You'll use the device as directed and answer online questions about your pain before and after.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the skin around the ankle can help recovery after ankle fracture surgery. It may reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
This Phase 1 study tests a sustained acoustic medicine device to help reduce pain from osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) in joints like knees or hips. Because it’s early-stage research, you may be asked to follow strict rules about pain medicines and device use while the team monitors safety and comfort.
