The Current Evidence Does Not Support the Use of Electrical Stimulation to Decrease Pain and Edema and Improve Function Following a Lateral Ankle Sprain: A Critically Appraised Paper.

The article discusses a systematic review which evaluated the efficacy of electrical stimulation in improving functional outcomes, pain, and edema postacute lateral ankle sprain. Topics covered include the data sources such as PubMed, Web of Science and SportDiscus databases, the extraction of the function, edema, and pain data from the four studies included in the systematic review, and how the authors assessed the methodological quality of such studies and the level of evidence of each study.
