Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Ankle Instability, CAI, run by General Committee of Teaching Hospitals and Institutes, Egypt at 1 site in Egypt.

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 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

hip muscle performance (time frame: one time). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
