Stress Fractures clinical trials at University of California Health

2 research studies open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Biological and Behavioral Outcomes of Community Nature Walks

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The investigators will test the efficacy of our proposed intervention to reduce embodied stress in four racial/ethnic groups (Black, Latinx, Pilipinx, and Pacific Islander) as a preventative intervention for health disparities found in these communities. The intervention is comprised of two phases. The first consists of community nature walks in a pristine redwood forest for six months. This is followed by chosen nature activities with family and/or friends for three months. The investigators will test the ability of these activities in nature to reduce chronic stress that underpins many health disparities using validated biological, behavioral, and sociocultural measures. The use of these measures is in alignment with the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) Research Framework, and will increase understanding of individual, interpersonal, community, and social level factors that lead to, and that can eliminate health disparities.

  • Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for the Management of Stress Fractures and High-grade Bone Stress Injuries (BSIs)

    open to eligible people ages 18-50

    The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) for the management of high-grade Bone Stress Injuries (BSIs) in collegiate and recreational athletes compared to a control group receiving standard of care with sham ESWT. The primary and secondary endpoints of the study are to evaluate the safety and feasibility of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for the treatment of pelvic and lower limb extremity fracture or BSI. Researchers will compare the ESWT group to the sham ESWT group to see if ESWT results in better safety and efficacy outcomes for treating high-grade BSIs. Participants will: - Undergo a screening period to determine eligibility. - Receive up to 4 treatment sessions of ESWT, with the frequency of sessions being approximately every 5 days (within a range of every 3-10 days). - Be monitored for up to 6 months for research follow-up, with further questionnaires and check-ins during the standard of care follow-up period until they are able to return to sport activity level.
