First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study reviews medical records of 100 adults who used the AccelStim device after breaking a metatarsal bone in their foot. The device delivers low-intensity ultrasound for 20 minutes daily to promote healing. Researchers will check how well the bone healed and how much pain patients felt.

- What this could lead to
- If results are positive, this could support using the AccelStim device to help heal metatarsal fractures and reduce pain.
