First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a bone stimulator to standard care helps athletes aged 16–40 with a spine stress fracture (spondylolysis) heal faster, reduce pain, and return to sport sooner. About 48 participants will use the device alongside physical therapy. The goal is to see if it improves bone healing and shortens recovery time.
