High intensity laser therapy for muscle injuries
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if high intensity laser therapy helps heal severe muscle tears in the leg. If you have a recent, serious muscle tear from sports, this treatment might speed up your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a severe (grade III A) muscle tear in your leg, confirmed by ultrasound
- The injury happened during sports at least 5 days ago
- You have not had any muscle injury in the last 6 months
- You have no broken bones or ligament damage in your leg in the last 6 months
