Effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Range of Motion in Post- Fracture Rehabilitation of Lower Limb
Pakistan17 participantsStarted 2026-04-01
Plain-language summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of rhythmic auditory stimulation on pain levels and range of motion in children undergoing post-fracture rehabilitation of the lower limb. It seeks to determine whether incorporating rhythmic auditory cues can help reduce pain and improve joint mobility during the recovery process.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age range typically 5 to18 years
* Closed lower limb fracture (tibia, fibula, femur, ankle) treated non-surgically with immobilization (e.g., cast, splint, brace)
* Patients in rehabilitation stage (not immediate post-op trauma care)
* Sub-acute or post-casting phase where active ROM and gait training are clinically indicated
* Post-Fracture Stage: Within 4-6 weeks post-fracture
* Ability to Participate
* Able to follow instructions and participate in RAS sessions
* Medically stable and cleared for physical therapy.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Acute emergency management studies
* Presence of multiple fractures or other significant injuries.
* Known hearing impairments that may affect response to auditory stimulation.
* Presence of cognitive or neurological impairments that may affect participation.
* Pre-existing chronic pain conditions that may confound pain assessments.
* Recent surgeries or medical conditions that may contraindicate physical therapy or RAS.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
