An observational study in Sport Injury, Ice-Skates Accident and Sports Accident, sponsored by Lund University. Recruiting at 1 site in Sweden. Open to female participants aged 16 Years to 110 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-04-08.

This research project can contribute to a deeper understanding of injury patterns among professional female ice-hockey players allowed to body check. An understanding of common injury types and mechanisms aids the clinician in diagnosis and management. This information can guide preventative strategies in the areas of education, coaching, rule enforcement, rule modifications, equipment improvement, and sportsmanship. Today, ice hockey is a sport associated with many severe injuries that not only causes suffering and lower quality of life for the athlete, but also costs society a lot of money. Reducing the number and severity of sport-related injuries is therefore of importance. Knowledge of the injury epidemiology of women's hockey could also contribute to better preventive training programs and other injury preventive actions in the sport. Currently, only a minority of all sports medicine research is made on female study participants (26). This research project has the possibility to gain more knowledge about the female athlete, not only applicable for elite hockey-players, but also for female athletes in different disciplines and in youth teams. Knowledge of factors associated with injury could also contribute to better injury preventive actions and highlight subgroups in extra need of future preventive interventions.

Ran from Dec 2023 to primary completion in Mar 2024, 3 months.
Of 265 non-industry observational studies under Wounds and Injuries, half reached primary completion within 28 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 60. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 312 studies reached it within 28 months; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 60.
Wounds and Injuries covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.
