Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation on children with localized osteomyelitis. A total of twenty patients, aged 5 to 16 years, will be randomly assigned to either a treatment group receiving pulsed electromagnetic field therapy alongside standard medical treatment or a control group receiving only medical treatment. The intervention will occur three times a week for two months, aiming to assess the efficacy of this novel approach in improving patient outcomes.
