NCT ID NCT07190599
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding mild electrical stimulation to special stretching exercises can help people who have had an ankle sprain. Sixty adults aged 18 to 30 will be split into two groups: one does stretching alone, the other does stretching with electrical stimulation. Over four weeks, researchers will measure pain, balance, strength, and movement to see if the combo works better.
