The purpose of this project is to compare a novel sensorimotor ankle rehabilitation training (SMART) protocol for Lateral ankle sprains (LASs) against a standard of care (SOC) protocol to determine if it is more successful at producing successful one-year outcomes and lower rates of re-injury and improved health. This will address the identified needs for evidence-support and reintegration strategies to improve understanding of the management of patient rehabilitation strategies throughout the rehabilitation process following neuromusculoskeletal injury. The project will validate an innovative rehabilitation approach while providing metrics of success using a variety of clinical and innovative markers.

A vast majority (75-85%) of ankle sprain patients treated in emergency departments (ED) receive pain medication and are not referred for physical rehabilitation. Therefore, purpose of this study is to increase access to the standard of care for an ankle sprain by provide patients with physical rehabilitation delivered through telehealth. The purpose of this study includes compare a 2-week telehealth intervention to the usual care for treating 1) subjective function; 2) physical impairments; 3) medication consumption; and 4) patient-perceived barriers. The central hypothesis is participants receiving the 2-week telehealth intervention will 1) have less pain and disability; 2) improve balance and ankle range of motion; 3) consume less medication; and 4) reports positive feedback compared to the usual care group.

Ankle sprains are the most common musculoskeletal complaint of children presenting to the emergency department (ED). Healing can often be protracted, leading to prolonged pain, missed school and work, and delayed return to a normal activity level. Smartphone apps have been shown to be associated with greater caregiver knowledge and improved outcomes in a number of conditions but have not been explored in ankle sprains. We would like to know if using a smartphone app for children with ankle inversion injuries leads to improved functional outcomes such as pain, mobility, and return to activity. We will be comparing a smartphone app that provides education and daily management reminders to a paper handout to see if the former leads to improved functional recovery.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether electrical stimulation to leg muscles and joints can help with balance in people with ankle instability. Participants will be asked to walk on a treadmill in a virtual reality cave. They will receive light electrical stimulation at the legs to improve your balance. The virtual reality image will sometimes shift in unexpected ways to challenge your balance. During the session, we will conduct a series of clinical assessments, including tests of functional performance and balance. Additionally, participants will be asked to fill out some questionnaires.

The purpose of this research is to find out how pain sensation may change in the Achilles tendon after the use of manual physical therapy. The testing itself will use a device that gradually produces a sensation of heat or cold on your skin, which we will place directly over your Achilles Tendon. You will let the researcher know when the heat or cold becomes what you would describe as "slight discomfort," at which point the pressure will be stopped. Testing will be completed three (3) times in a row. The device has built-in programming which ensures that the heat or cold applied will be safe, even though it may be briefly uncomfortable. After this first testing the researchers will perform 1-3 repetitions of the ankle joint mobilization/manipulation. This technique involves the researcher providing a small quick stretching movement downwards at the ankle. This is a common therapeutic technique utilized by Physical Therapists, chiropractors, and physicians and is considered very safe. After this treatment we will perform the same measurements of hot and cold discomfort on your Achilles tendon

A debate regarding ankle fracture fixation centers on time to weight bearing. Recent literature has supported immediate weight bearing in surgically stabilized ankle fractures. However, significant variation among orthopaedic surgeons persists, and weight bearing recommendations change when there is a syndesmotic disruption. There is very little literature on time to weight bearing, with most available series casting/immobilizing these injuries for 6 weeks after fixation. There is very little data examining post-operative weight bearing after syndesmotic stabilization, and the majority centers on screw fixation. The minimum time to weight bearing after an ankle fracture with syndesmotic fixation in the literature is 4 weeks, with most focusing on 6 to 12 weeks. Based on biomechanical data regarding suture button techniques, the investigators hypothesize that patients undergoing ankle fracture fixation plus suture button fixation of their syndesmotic disruption will be able to safely bear weight early (2 weeks) after surgery. The investigator's null hypothesis is that there will be no difference between early weight bearing (2 weeks), and late weight bearing (6 weeks) in terms of outcome, hardware failure, loss of reduction, and return to work. Adult patients who have an ankle fracture with suspected syndesmotic disruption, requiring a suture button fixation operative intervention will be randomized into early (2 weeks post-surgically) weight-bearing status or delayed weight-bearing status (non-weight-bearing for 6 weeks following fixation). Primary objective: Maintenance of ankle reduction at 1 year follow-up (measured by comparing immediate post-op CT and 1 year time-point CT). Secondary Objectives: Pain scores, surgical experience, work productivity and activity impairment , AAOS foot and ankle scores (2w, 6w, 12w, 6m, 1y), use of assistive devices, range of motion, physical therapy requirement/length of use/compliance, post-operative protocol compliance, post-operative complications (wound healing, infection, implant failure, fracture healing).

No study has prospectively compared a traditional post-operative non-weightbearing protocol versus early post-operative weightbearing as tolerated for unstable ankle injuries after surgical fixation of the syndesmosis. This prospective study will attempt to determine if early weightbearing can improve functional outcomes, result in a quicker return to work, and monitor differences in rates of adverse events. It will exclude the most severe ankle injuries and patients with excluding comorbidities.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Sprained Ankle clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Sprained Ankle clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Sprained Ankle trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Sprained Ankle is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Sprained Ankle medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Sprained Ankle clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Ankle Braces for Ankle Sprains, Biofeedback Gait Training for Ankle Injury and Hyperarch Fascia Training for Ankle Injury to the Power online platform.
