- NCT07671729Recruiting
Comparing two tendon grafts for ACL surgery
This study compares two types of tendon grafts (from your kneecap tendon or from a tendon in your leg) for ACL reconstruction. The goal is to see which one works better for getting you back to normal activity.
Istanbul, BesiktasAges 18–50 - NCT05985629RecruitingPhase 4
Numbing shot behind the knee for ACL surgery pain
This study tests whether an extra numbing shot (called IPACK) behind the knee helps reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicine after ACL reconstruction surgery. It's for patients who are having their first ACL surgery and are not using a donor graft.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 16 years+ - NCT06505525Recruiting
ACL reconstruction: adding extra support vs standard surgery
This trial compares two surgical techniques for ACL reconstruction. The standard method repairs the ACL inside the knee joint, while the new method also adds extra support outside the joint. The study aims to see which approach gives better stability and recovery for people with specific risk factors, like being a young athlete or having a chronic ACL tear.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 14–40 - NCT06341192Recruiting
Comparing two ways to reconstruct the ACL
This trial compares two different techniques for ACL surgery (single bundle vs. double bundle) to see which one works better. If you're planning to have ACL surgery, you may be able to join.
Taoyuan, taoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05754632Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercises after ACL surgery in teens
This trial tests whether a special type of exercise that uses a cuff (blood flow restriction training, or BFRT) can help teens recover after ACL reconstruction. It’s designed to see if adding BFRT to standard rehab improves strength and return to sport.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 12–18 - NCT05461326Recruiting
Compare two tendon grafts for ACL surgery recovery
This study compares two ways to rebuild the ACL using different tendon grafts (quadriceps tendon vs patellar tendon) taken from your own body. It aims to learn which option leads to better recovery after ACL reconstruction, including strength and function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 14–65 - NCT06561035Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Opioid-sparing study for ACL reconstruction
This study tests pain management options after ACL reconstruction to reduce the need for strong painkillers. It may help you recover with fewer side effects and lower risk of opioid dependence.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 14–85 - NCT04295148Recruiting
Compare brace and rehab for ACL reconstruction
This study compares two ways of rehabilitating the knee after ACL rupture repair. It’s meant to see which approach helps people return to their prior sport more safely and effectively.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 16–40

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acl injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 recruiting acl injury studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acl injury trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acl injury trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
