Can a magnetic field heal your wobbly ankle?

NCT ID NCT05500885

Summary

This study tested if a special therapy using pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) could help people with chronic ankle instability feel better. 62 adults with a history of repeated ankle sprains and feelings of their ankle 'giving way' participated. They all did standard ankle exercises, but half also received the real PEMF treatment while the other half got a fake (sham) treatment to see if the real device made a difference in pain, balance, and strength.
