About this study
Official title: Effects of Closed Chain Exercise Versus Neuromuscular Training on Pain, Range of Motion, and Functional Performance in Football Players With Chronic Ankle Sprain
A current study will be conducted to determine the effects of closed-chain exercise versus neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, and functional performance in football players with a chronic ankle sprain. This study will be a clinical trial conducted at the Pakistan sports board in the Lahore district. The study will be completed within the time duration of Six months. Non-probability convenient sampling technique will be used to collect the data. The sample size of 17 participants in each group will be taken in this study to find the effects of closed-chain exercise versus neuromuscular training on pain, range of motion, and functional performance in football players with a chronic ankle sprain. Athletes will be divided into two groups. Group A will be treated with closed-chain exercises and Group B will be with neuromuscular training. Pain (Numeric pain rating scale NPRS), Proprioceptive (balancing on a single leg with the eyes closed, balancing on a wobble board, Dynamic balance (Star Excursion Balance test and Y Balance Test), Functional Ankle Instability (Greek version of the Identification functional ankle instability questionnaire IdFAI), Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CHRONIC ANKLE INSTABILITY) and Ankle Instability Instrument (AII), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM)-Sport Subscale, Range of Motion ROM (measure Goniometer) will be used as Data collecting tools. Three sessions of treatment per week for 4 weeks will be given. Data will be analyzed on SPSS version 22. In descriptive statistics Frequency tables, pie charts, and bar charts will be used to show the summary of group measurements measured over time.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain (NPRS Scale)
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a widely used tool for measuring and assessing pain intensity. It is a simple and subjective rating scale that allows individuals to quantify and communicate their level of pain on a numerical scale.
The NPRS typically consists of a horizontal or vertical line with numbers ranging from 0 to 10. The numbers represent a continuum of pain intensity, where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents the "worst possible pain." The individual is asked to select the number that best corresponds to their current level of pain, with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the most severe pain imaginable.
Measured: 4 weeks
Range of Motion (Goniometer)
A goniometer is a measuring tool commonly used in healthcare and physical therapy to assess and quantify the range of motion (ROM) in joints. It consists of a stationary arm, a movable arm, and a protractor or scale to measure angles.
To measure range of motion with a goniometer, the stationary arm is aligned with a fixed point on the body, typically an anatomical landmark associated with the joint being assessed. The movable arm is aligned with a second anatomical landmark, which moves as the joint is flexed or extended.
Measured: 4 weeks
Functional Performance (Special Tests)
Functional performance refers to an individual's ability to perform everyday tasks and activities effectively and independently. It encompasses the physical, cognitive, and emotional skills required to carry out various activities that are necessary for daily living, work, leisure, and social participation.
Functional performance is closely tied to an individual's overall functional capacity, which involves the integration of physical abilities, such as strength, endurance, balance, and coordination, with cognitive and emotional factors, including problem-solving, decision-making, attention, and motivation.
The concept of functional performance extends beyond isolated movements or specific skills and focuses on how individuals function within their unique environments and roles.
Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Group A - Closed Chain Exercise and Group B - Neuromuscular Training Exercise in people with Ankle Sprains and Chronic Pain, run by Riphah International University at 1 site in Pakistan.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Pakistan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pain (NPRS Scale) (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05981560, which also lists 21 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2023.
