NCT ID NCT04409600

Summary

This study tested two non-surgical treatments for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), a painful leg condition in active people. It compared gait retraining and botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to see if they could improve running ability and reduce pain over two years. The trial involved 35 active-duty military service members who had leg pain that limited their ability to run.
