Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate high frequency ultrasound as a future modality for the diagnosis of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). The results of the ultrasound will help determine if there are any significant radiologic findings or patterns seen in patients with CECS.


Description:

The purpose of this study is to investigate high frequency ultrasound as a future modality for the diagnosis of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). The results of the ultrasound will help determine if there are any significant radiologic findings or patterns seen in patients with CECS. Evaluation of ultrasonographic findings will be dependent on tissue density as measured by hypoechoic versus hyperechoic signal as well as muscle compartment thickness at its largest dimension. A specific aim for this study would be to facilitate future research in order to eliminate the need for painful and invasive diagnostic techniques for CECS.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Ultrasound to predict/diagnose CECS Determine if there are significant radiologic patterns arising on ultrasound imaging to help further future research predict or diagnose CECS using non-invasive methods.Specific aim is to investigate high frequency ultrasound as a future modality for the diagnosis of CECS. The results of the ultrasound will help determine if there are any significant radiologic findings or patterns seen in patients with CECS 2 weeks
