High-Tech socks aim to speed up ankle injury recovery

NCT ID NCT07025733

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether socks made with semiconductor fabric can improve healing and reduce symptoms after an ankle sprain. About 100 adults with ankle injuries will wear either the special socks or regular compression socks and report their pain and function over time. The goal is to see if the semiconductor material offers any extra benefit beyond standard compression.

Active substance

Semiconductor embedded sock

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to speed up recovery from ankle sprains.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit over a regular compression sock may be small or none.
