Beat the pain: rhythmic sounds may boost Kids' fracture recovery
NCT ID NCT07579520
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether adding rhythmic music cues to standard physical therapy can reduce pain and improve joint movement in children recovering from a broken leg. About 17 kids aged 5 to 18 with a healed lower-limb fracture will participate. The goal is to see if listening to a steady beat during exercises makes recovery more comfortable and effective.
