To demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of a generic diclofenac epolamine patch against Flector patch in the treatment of pain in subjects with minor ankle sprain
The Objective is to examine the immediate and prolonged effects (seven days) of Kinesio® Tape (KT) on balance in subjects with chronic ankle instability using Computerized dynamic posturography (CDP). Design. A 7 days follow-up, single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting. University community. Participants. A sample of 30 subjects aged 18 to 28 with CAI and subjective perception of ankle instability (FAI) was enrolled in this study. Interventions. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group in which was applied KT, and a control group in which was applied a placebo tape.Objective.

The CDP device employed in this study was Smart Equitest® version 8.2. CDP analysis was conducted using the Sensory organization test (SOT). The composite SOT score (COMP) and the composite SOT strategy (STR), the partial score for SOT condition 2 (SOT 2) and its strategy (STR 2) were considered as outcomes measures.
The purpose of this "before-after" prospective multicenter study is to assess the impact of six Patient Information Leaflets (PILs) on Doctor Patient Communication scale (DPC) and adherence scale for common acute illnesses in emergency ward.
This study presents the hypothesis that the sensory processing engine improves balance and agility for football athletes.
To determine the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid (AdantTM, Tedec-Meiji Farma SA) for acute ankle sprain, a single-site, open-label, controlled trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted in a sport-medicine clinical research center in London, Ontario, Canada. The eligible patients will be 18 years of age and older, have first or second degree lateral sprain within 48h of the start of the treatment, and moderate or severe pain (>45mm on 100 mm pain visual analogue scale /VAS). Exclusion criteria will include bilateral ankle sprain, ipsilateral knee trauma, prior sprain in the past 6 months, use of NSAID prior to entry, intra-articular ankle injection in the prior 6 months. The patients will receive standard care (RICE and rescue analgesics), and a single 2.5cc Adant periarticular ankle injection following provision of informed consent and collection of baseline data. NSAIDs, corticosteroids or topical analgesics will not be allowed. Assessments will be done at baseline, days 8, 30 and day 90. Efficacy measures will include patient's pain VAS on weight bearing (0-100mm) and walking 20m (0-100mm), patients' global assessment of ankle injury (5 point categorical scale), patients' assessment of normal function/activity (5 point categorical scale), physician's global assessment of ankle injury (5 point categorical scale), patients/physician satisfaction assessment (10 point categorical scale), time to return to pain-free and disability-free sport and adverse events as per WHO definition. It is expected that the Hyaluronic acid injections will decrease pain and swelling, promote healing, improve time to return to sport and increase mobility.
Introduction: Ankle sprains, the most common sports-related musculoskeletal injury, account for approximately 25% of sports injuries. An estimated 40% of these individuals will progress to develop chronic functional ankle instability (CFAI), which can significantly affect athletic performance and activities of daily life. Stresses from the injury can damage the ligaments, muscles, nerves and mechanoreceptors. It is widely accepted that ankle proprioception is critical for balance and that individuals with CFAI demonstrate decreased proprioception and altered muscular function, which impairs postural stability. The goal of this study is to determine if a single application of electroacupuncture can have an immediate positive outcome related to balance in individuals with CFAI. Methods: This single blinded randomized trial will include 12 subjects receiving a single application of electroacupuncture and 12 subjects in the placebo group receiving sham electroacupuncture. Subjects aged 18-50 with a history of unilateral inversion ankle sprain(s) and chronic symptoms of instability will be selected. Balance will be assessed pre- and post-treatment using force plate data during a single-leg stance and via the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). GB-34 and GB-40 will be used for the experimental group and non-traditional points on the medial aspect of the leg will be used for the sham electroacupuncture group. Both will be connected to the electrical stimulation unit for 10 minutes. Results from this study may inform future research investigating the ability of EA at decreasing the risk of ankle sprains, improving perceived stability, and reducing the risk of subsequent degenerative changes.
This study will investigate the efficacy of the Indomethacin patch in pain relief of ankle sprain in adult patients, compared to a placebo patch
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of diclofenac potassium 25 mg tablet compared with placebo taken three times a day in subjects with acute ankle sprains under 'in-use' conditions, in particular with regard to pain relief.
The aim of this prospective study was to compare outcomes in patients handled by emergency physician according to OAR versus by an orthopedic resident. 92 consecutive patients with ankle injuries attending our emergency department were divided in two groups. The study group comprised 32 patients who arrived during the morning shift and were examined by an emergency physician according to OAR. Patients discharged without an x-ray were followed in the clinic or by telephone communication. The control group constituted 60 patients who were examined during the evening and night shifts by orthopedic residents unaware of this study.
