Hydrotherapy With Hydrogen-rich Water vs. RICE Protocol Following Acute Ankle Sprain

NCT04167202 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The traditional treatment of soft tissue injuries consists of the RICE protocol - rest, ice, compression, and elevation, followed for up to 72 hours after a trauma. Although designed as an immediate therapy to reduce inflammation that occurs after an acute injury, the RICE might not be the best way to promote healing due to limiting blood flow. Molecular hydrogen (H2) has recently been put forward as a possible adjuvant treatment in musculoskeletal medicine, yet limited data are available concerning its effectiveness as a first-aid intervention.
