Summary

This study compares two treatments for chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS), a condition causing pain in the lower leg during exercise. 72 adults aged 18-50 with symptoms in both legs will be randomly assigned to either physiotherapy (changing running style) or surgery (fasciotomy). The goal is to see if physical therapy works as well as surgery, which could reduce complications and costs.
