Smart socks for ankle sprains study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.

This study tests if adding rhythmic music or sounds to special balance and stability exercises helps people recover better from a mild to moderate lateral ankle sprain (an injury to the outer side of the ankle). It may be a good option if your ankle sprain happened 2 to 8 weeks ago and you haven't had ankle surgery before.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help heal a recent ankle sprain. If you have a sprained ankle with swelling and bruising that happened within the last 3 days, this treatment might reduce pain and speed up recovery.
This study tests special socks with tiny electronic parts to see if they can reduce nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in people with diabetic neuropathy. If you have mild to moderate symptoms and are not taking new medications for it, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether compression therapy helps control swelling after an ankle injury or surgery. If you're being treated for an ankle fracture or certain foot surgeries, this study may help improve your recovery.
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.
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.
