Detailed Description
Study Design: A randomized, parallel, open-label, multi-center clinical trial will be conducted at 3 intermediate-complexity hospitals. The study received approval from the center's ethics committee.
Procedure: Every patient presenting with ankle trauma will undergo assessment by the attending physician in the emergency department. The collaborating researchers of the different hospitals will participate in patient enrollment. In cases of grade I or mild sprains, patients and their guardians will be invited to participate in the study after a thorough explanation of the study's purpose and procedures. The severity of the sprain will be assessed using The West Point Ankle Grading System. Adequate analgesia will be ensured during the emergency department consultation.
Upon agreeing to participate in the study and signing the informed consent, randomization and assignment to either the control group or intervention group (receiving a bandage applied by nursing) will take place before the final discharge from the emergency department. The discharge report will specify the standardized treatment based on the assigned group. The attending physician will complete a physical study-specific record and will store the signed informed consent in a designated folder within the pediatric emergency department. The researcher in charge of each center will enter demographic data and variables obtained in the emergency department into a database hosted in the REDcap software. The data of the recruited patients should be entered in the REDcap database at least twice per week. The principal investigator or collaborators will review this REDcap database daily to check the recruited patients and prepare the SMS with the online survey to be sent. A coded patient number and the date of emergency care will be included in a database hosted in the center's electronic repository to determine the timing of follow-up. The SMS will be sent using the SMS sending system of the coordinating hospital of the study.
At 7, 14, and 30 days, the guardians of the patients will receive a SMS with a link that will direct them to the REDcap online survey. In case of no response to the initial attempt, another attempt will be made the following day, and, if no response is received in 48 hours, a telephone call will be made to the patients' guardians. Non-response at 72 hours will be recorded as a loss.
The data from the REDcap electronic database will be periodically reviewed by the principal investigator to monitore data entry and look for possible adverse effect.
Statistical Analysis: The sample size will be calculated assuming a difference of more than 10 points in the OXAFQ-C percentage scale value, estimating a standard deviation of 15, due to a previous study. Comparing two independent means with a bilateral test and a balanced random allocation (Group 1 size/Group 2 size ratio = 1), with a type I error of 5% (alpha risk) and a power of 80% (1-beta risk), and assuming a dropout of 30%, the calculated sample size will be 112 patients (56 in each group) for superiority analysis or 90 patients (45 in each group) for non-inferiority analysis.
Categorical variables will be described using percentages, and continuous variables will be presented as mean and standard deviation (SD) if normally distributed (Kolmogorov-Smirnov and/or Shapiro-Wilks) or as medians and interquartile ranges otherwise. Bivariable analysis of categorical variables will be performed using the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and that of continuous variables will be done using the Student's T-test or its non-parametric equivalents.
Both intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses will be conducted, assuming that some patients in the control group will use ankle support against recommendations. Finally, a non-inferiority analysis will be performed between both groups for both the primary variable and the degree of pain according to the visual analog scale (VAS) at different follow-ups.
All statistical tests will be considered with a significance level of 5%. The analysis will be conducted using the R software.
Missing Data:For all patients who do not complete at least two follow-ups, the electronic medical records of all public centers in the province where the study is conducted will be reviewed through the electronic Horus program to verify the absence of relevant adverse effects or diagnostic changes. Anyway, a worst-case scenario strategy will be used in the statistical analysis to assess the losses.

|
All patients included in the study, both in the non-bandaging group and in the bandaging group, will receive a series of general measures as a recommendation, consisting of the following:
The control group will not receive any special intervention. The functional bandage will consist of a standardized wrapping in several phases. First, with 6 mm silk tape, open anchors were placed in the distal region of the metatarsals of the foot and in the middle third of the affected leg. Next, a strip of tape was applied in stirrup fashion, starting from the proximal anchor and exerting pressure cranially on the side of the affected ligament. This support was interspersed three times with another strip of tape, starting from the foot anchor and wrapping behind the ankle. Once complete, it was covered with a 7.5 cm Tensoplast spiral bandage, taking care to apply gentle pressure. The emergency nurses underwent dual training, consisting of an instructional video and a half-hour practical session. Reminder posters were also displayed in the technique box where such procedures are typically performed. As the control group, general measures will be recommended |

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage score on the Oxford Ankle and Foot Questionare for Children (OXAFQ-C)
Time Frame: at 5, 14 and 30 days.
|
It is a questionnaire validated in pediatric population to determine the functionality of the ankle and/or foot in patients with pathology at this level.
It consists of a survey in which 14 items belonging to three different spheres are collected: physical, social/daily activities and emotional.
Each item is scored on a frequency scale: never (4), rarely (3), sometimes (2), frequently (1), always (0).
The higher the score, the better the functionality.
This scale can also be transformed into a percentage scale, being 100% the maximum score.
