First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a special electrical therapy called CRET can help elite soccer players with hamstring strains get back on the field faster. Twenty-two players will receive either standard rehab alone or rehab plus CRET therapy. Researchers will measure how many days it takes to return to full sport and track muscle oxygen levels and strength.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Capacitive and resistive electrical transfer therapy (CRET) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help athletes recover faster from hamstring injuries and return to sport sooner.
What could go wrong
This is a small early trial with only 22 participants, so results may not apply to all athletes. The device is an add-on to standard rehab, so its added benefit is uncertain.
