Procedures for long-term ankle pain after ligament injury
This trial tests three different procedures—radiofrequency, hydrodissection, and cryoneurolysis—to see which is better at reducing chronic ankle pain in athletes. It aims to help people who haven't found relief with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
