About the study
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.
