Just wondering what people use for initial management of acute ankle sprains.

I know the whole RICE thing but Tubigrip has been found to cause increased analgesia use (Emerg Med J 2001; 18:46-50) and also may cause an anterior compressive band.

I feel like taping the acute ankle sprain may also cause problems with skin integrity and constriction.

Can anyone point out any articles which advocate anything else other than those mentioned?
