Recruiting studies
- NCT05488054Recruiting
Checking oxygen levels and blood counts during ACL rehab
This study measures oxygen levels in your muscles and hemoglobin (a blood protein that carries oxygen) while you recover after arthroscopic hip surgery. It may help researchers understand how the body responds during rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery.
Avon, OhioAges 14–30 - NCT05395767Recruiting
Living-donor tendon graft for ACL repair in teens
This study tests whether an ACL reconstruction using a tendon from a living donor works well and is safe in children and teens. It may help families compare this approach while closely tracking knee function after surgery.
Pembury, KentAges 8–17 - NCT05218993Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new balance and reaction method for football players
This trial tests a new “dual task” training or testing method for professional football players. It may help coaches and players measure balance and reaction under real game-like conditions.
AnkaraAges 14 years+ - NCT04660955Enrolling by invitation
10-year follow-up MRI after ACL surgery in young athletes
This study uses an MRI scan to look at knees 10 years after ACL reconstruction. It helps researchers understand how the knee changes over time after sports-related ACL injury, and how well reconstruction lasts.
Cleveland, OhioAges 22–45 - NCT04536103Recruiting
Accelerated MRI scans after ACL knee injury surgery
This trial tests a faster MRI scan method to measure healing in the knee after an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear and reconstruction. It may help researchers compare scan quality while participants go through standard rehab.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT04572256RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Montelukast after ACL surgery to protect knee cartilage
This early trial tests whether montelukast, a tablet used for allergies, can help protect knee cartilage after ACL surgery. It is specifically for people who have a meniscus injury along with their ACL tear.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 25–50 - NCT04183803Recruiting
Robot help to set the right position for ACL surgery
This study tests whether using a robot to help place the tunnel during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction is better or more accurate than the usual approach. You may benefit if you need ACL surgery and your care team has robot experience.
AmiensAges 10 years+ - NCT03968913RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Biologic shot to prevent knee arthritis after ACL injury
This early-phase trial tests a biologic medicine (anakinra) given after an ACL injury to try to prevent or reduce later osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis). It enrolls young adults who recently tore their ACL and are planning a specific type of ACL reconstruction.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–35 - NCT03365908Enrolling by invitation
Pain Management After ACL Reconstruction Surgery
This study looks at ways to manage pain in adults who are getting surgery to repair a torn ACL (a knee ligament). It may help improve comfort and recovery after ACL reconstruction.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–45

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acl?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 129 recruiting acl 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 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 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.
