U.S., May 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06962943) titled 'Auto-regulated Blood Flow Restriction in Athletes With Recurrent Ankle Sprain' on April 30.
Brief Summary: Ankle injuries, especially lateral ankle sprains, are prevalent in physically active individuals. Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) has emerged as a promising method, employing partial arterial occlusion and full venous occlusion with low resistance to induce metabolic stress and achieve outcomes akin to heavy resistance training. This Randomized Controlled study explores the application of BFRT in addressing Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI), focusing on its efficacy in strength gains of extrinsic foot muscles, and potential ...
