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 adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
This study tests if a brief session of neuromuscular electrical stimulation can reduce pain and improve function in people with Achilles tendon problems, such as midportion or insertional pain, or a healed rupture that happened at least 3 months ago.
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 trial tests whether adding a gentle nerve stimulation device (neuromodulation) to standard physical therapy can help people with leg, knee, ankle, or foot pain recover faster. It is for adults who have not yet started physical therapy.
This study tests whether a type of acupuncture with mild electrical current (electroacupuncture) can help heal a fresh, mild-to-moderate ankle sprain. You may be eligible if you sprained your ankle within the last 48 hours, have no broken bones, and do not have serious health issues.
