Summary

This study tests whether a device called LightForce® Therapy Laser can reduce pain from mild to moderate ankle sprains. About 108 adults with acute ankle sprain pain will receive either real laser therapy or a sham (fake) laser, plus standard care like rest and ice. The main goal is to see if the real laser leads to greater pain reduction after 4 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LightForce® Therapy Laser (photobiomodulation therapy device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug option to ease pain from ankle sprains and speed recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 108 people, and the sham group also gets standard care, so the added benefit of the laser may be small or none. Results may not apply to severe sprains.
