Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound in Lower Limb Bone Stress Injuries: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusions: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound was found not to be an effective treatment for the healing of lower limb bone stress injuries in this study. However, this was measured over a relatively short duration of 4 weeks in a small, mostly female population. Clinical Relevance: This double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial has shown that LIPUS is not an effective treatment for lower limb bone stress injuries.
