Abstract: In a placebo-controlled, randomized double-blind study involving a total of 73 patients, the effectiveness of the treatment of sports-related sprains of the ankle with Traumeel? ointment was tested. Electrotherapy was administered to all patients as basic treatment. As the quantifiable objective criterion for the degree of restitution of ankle mobility, the difference in total angulation of the joint measured in extension and flexion, between the affected and non-affected joints was taken as "target criterion." Treatment was administered on an outpatient basis seven times within a period of two weeks. In both groups, the basic treatment produced an improvement in joint mobility. In the test group, this improvement by the day determined prior to the start of the trial (10th day after injury), was, as indicated by the "target criterion", significantly more frequent (p = 0.03) than in the placebo group.
