Clinical Trial NCT06934629 (TECAR) is an interventional study for Ankle Sprain, TECAR Therapy, TECAR Therapy Efficacy in the Treatment of Ankle Sprain, Ankle Dynamic Balance, Ankle Pain, Ankle Proprioception and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on 15 April 2025 and continue until the study accrues 42 participants. Led by Cairo University, this study is expected to complete by 30 June 2025. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 18 April 2025.
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of applying TECAR therapy during active therapeutic exercises on pain, ankle dynamic balance, proprioception, and daily function in patients with acute ankle sprain.
the main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does there is a significant effect of applying TECAR therapy during active exercise after acute lateral ankle sprain on Pain?
- Does there is a signif...
