Rib fractures often lead to severe pain, breathing difficulties, and complications such as pneumonia or atelectasis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: standard pain management or the new chest stabilizer, which will be used for 10 days.\n\nThe study will assess improvements in pain levels, breathing function (including FVC, FEV1, and PEF), and the occurrence of lung-related complications. Additional outcomes such as hospital stay, patient comfort, and skin reactions related to the device will also be evaluated. The goal of this research is to determine whether the innovative stabilizer can provide safer, more comfortable, and more effective treatment compared with current standard care for rib fracture patients.",[68,69,70,71],"Rib Fractures","Blunt Chest Trauma","Thoracic Injuries","Pulmonary Complications","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-11-16",{"date":75,"type":76},"2025-11-20","ACTUAL",{"date":78,"type":62},"2025-12-01",{"date":80,"type":62},"2027-12-01",{"name":46,"class":6},1]
