Recruiting studies
- NCT06974526RecruitingPhase 2

This study compares two different knee braces used after ACL surgery to see which one helps people recover better. If you are having your first ACL reconstruction, you may be able to join and help find out if one brace works better than the other.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07020312RecruitingPhase 2
Brain training to improve muscle recovery after joint surgery
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06905691Recruiting
Eccentric training after ACL reconstruction
This study tests if a specific exercise (eccentric training) helps people recover better after ACL surgery. You may join if you are between 18 and 40 and are scheduled for this surgery.
Veranópolis, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–40 - NCT06762392Recruiting
Blood flow restriction for ACL rehab: a pilot study
This study tests whether using a special band that slightly restricts blood flow (blood flow restriction) during rehabilitation can help people recover better after ACL knee surgery. It's a small early study to see if this method is safe and effective.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07523854Recruiting
Knee Strength Recovery After ACL Surgery: Comparing Graft Types
This study compares how well the knee recovers its strength after ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery using two different graft options. By tracking your progress over time, researchers hope to understand which graft type helps you regain the most strength.
AnkaraAges 13–45 - NCT07128602Recruiting
Brain stimulation to help quadriceps after ACL surgery
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation can improve thigh muscle function in women recovering from ACL reconstruction. If you are between 2 and 6 months post-surgery, you may be able to join.
Glenside, PennsylvaniaAges 18–35 - NCT06991192Recruiting
ACL recovery with exercise and emotional support
This study tests a rehab program for teens and young adults who had ACL surgery. It combines physical therapy with extra mental and emotional support to help them get back to sports safely.
Bloomington, MinnesotaAges 15–21 - NCT06973642Recruiting
Home-based rehab after ACL surgery via phone
This trial tests whether a home-based rehab program using your phone can help people recover after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It aims to see if remote physical therapy is as effective as in-person sessions.
Jackson, MississippiAges 18 years+ - NCT06636045Enrolling by invitation
Blood flow restriction after ACL surgery with quad graft
This study tests whether using a special blood flow restriction cuff after ACL surgery helps you recover faster and stronger. It is for people having ACL reconstruction using their own quadriceps tendon for the first time.
Kansas City, KansasAges 14–40 - NCT06972914Enrolling by invitation
Brace wearing time after ACL surgery recovery study
This trial tests how long patients should wear a brace after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. It aims to find the best duration for faster short-term recovery.
Chongli, HebeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06818201Recruiting
Brain stimulation for ACL surgery recovery
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS can improve how your brain controls leg muscles and speeds up recovery after ACL surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 16–40 - NCT07569796Recruiting
Nerve Stimulation to Help Recover After ACL Surgery
This study tests whether stimulating your sciatic nerve (a major nerve in your leg) can help you recover better after ACL reconstruction surgery. The goal is to reduce pain and help you regain strength and movement.
Madrid, MadridAges 18–60 - NCT07243535Recruiting
Rhythm training for athletes after ACL surgery
This study compares two types of rhythm-based training (fractal vs isochronous cueing) to see which helps athletes regain better movement after ACL reconstruction. If you're an athlete who had ACL surgery less than two years ago and are now pain-free walking, you may be able to join.
Almada, Monte de CaparicaAges 15–35 - NCT04770233Recruiting
Comparing early surgery options for torn ACL
This study looks at the best way to treat a fresh ACL (an important knee ligament) tear by comparing an “early surgery” plan that starts within 12 weeks. It may help guide care and recovery for people who are able to do both the surgery and the follow-up rehabilitation.
Lørenskog, AkershusAges 16–50 - NCT05323474Recruiting
Rehab program after ACL surgery to return to competitive sport
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
Challes-les-EauxAges 18–25 - NCT05747079Recruiting
Early versus delayed surgery after a new ACL tear
This study compares immediate surgery versus waiting a short time for people with a new ACL injury. It aims to see which timing leads to better recovery and knee function.
LeuvenAges 16 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 - NCT05848622Recruiting
Gait retraining after ACL surgery for fast knee recovery
This trial tests a walking (gait) rehabilitation program to improve how you move after ACL reconstruction. It may help if you are still having walking mechanics issues in the months to years after surgery.
