Sustained Acoustic Medicine (SAM) for Symptomatic Treatment of Pain Related to Bone Fracture

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of long-duration low-intensity therapeutic ultrasound (LITUS) to alleviate bone-fracture related pain over a 12-week period. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of LITUS in subjects suffering from bone-fracture pain. Secondary objectives are to assess the ability of LITUS to improve patients return to work time.

  2. * Displays any condition which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make participation in the study unacceptable including, but not limited to, the subject's ability to understand and follow instructions.
  3. * Participated in a clinical trial for an investigational drug and/or agent within 30 days prior to screening.
  4. * Is pregnant.
  5. * Is a prisoner.
  6. * Is non-ambulatory (unable to walk).
  7. * Has a pacemaker.
  8. * Has a malignancy in the treatment area.
