Electrical stimulation after ankle fracture surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies a pain-control approach (a kind of nerve block) to see if it can reduce pain after surgery for certain ankle fractures. It may help you feel more comfortable while your ankle heals after an operation.
This study tests a new exercise program called the Ankle Muscle Power (AMP) program to help people get back to full duty after an ankle fracture surgery. It aims to see if this program is effective and practical for recovery.
This study tests a new type of nerve stimulation device placed in the leg to see if it can reduce long-term pain after amputation. It's for people who have already had nerve surgery and still have significant pain.
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 adding electrical stimulation to standard care helps people recover from a recent Achilles tendon rupture. It may improve healing and strength after the injury.
This study looks at why some people develop nerve pain (neuropathic pain) after breaking their ankle and having surgery. If you have an ankle fracture that needs surgery, you may be able to join and help researchers understand this type of pain better.
