- NCT07574307Recruiting
Kinesio Tape for Meniscus Knee Injuries
This study tests whether special therapeutic tape (kinesiotape) can help reduce pain and improve function in people with meniscus injuries in the knee. The meniscus is a piece of cartilage that cushions your knee, and this trial sees if the tape can help your body heal without surgery.
BalıkesirAges 18–50 - NCT07501013Recruiting
Shoulder and knee surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well different types of shoulder and knee surgeries work for sports injuries. It aims to help improve future care by following patients' recovery after common procedures like fixing torn cartilage or repairing ligaments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8–80 - NCT07079254Recruiting
Meniscus repair vs. partial removal for bucket-handle tears
This trial compares two surgeries for a specific type of meniscus tear that blocks knee straightening: repairing the torn meniscus versus removing the damaged part. The goal is to see which leads to better recovery.
Hässleholm, Skåne CountyAges 15 years+ - NCT06906783Recruiting
Comparing two ways to fix a shifted meniscus in the knee
This trial compares two surgical techniques to see which better treats a meniscus that has moved out of place (extruded) in the knee, which can cause pain and limited movement. It aims to find the best approach to relieve symptoms and improve knee function.
Erzurum, YakutiyeAges 18–65 - NCT06507241Recruiting
Knee meniscus root tear repair using ligament suture
This trial tests a surgical technique to fix a certain type of meniscus tear (called a root tear) by stitching it to the knee's posterior cruciate ligament. The goal is to see if this approach helps patients recover better.
BolognaAges 18–50 - NCT07356674Recruiting
Surgery for Meniscus Tear with Mild Bow Legs
This trial tests a new surgical approach for a specific type of meniscus tear (the cartilage that cushions the knee) in people who have a mild bow-legged (varus) knee. It combines a small bone cut near the knee with arthroscopic repair to fix the tear.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 35–75 - 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 - NCT04607538Recruiting
Study of knee joint shape and patella dislocations in Faroese teens
This study looks at how knee joint shape differences may relate to repeated kneecap (patella) instability or near-dislocation, and what that means long-term. It specifically includes teens from the Faroe Islands and asks about symptoms and knee function over time.
HvidovreAges 15–20 - NCT07366619Recruiting
MADI ACL study: a new MRI method for ligament repair
This trial tests a new MRI technique called Magic Angle Direction Imaging (MADI) to see if it can give better images of the knee before ligament repair surgery. It may help doctors plan your surgery more accurately.
LondonAges 18–65 - NCT07297459Enrolling by invitation
Surgery options for a jaw joint problem
This trial compares two types of surgery to treat a common jaw joint problem where the disc slips out of place. It looks at which procedure works better for reducing pain and improving function.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06775197RecruitingPhase 4
Partial meniscus replacement with Spongioflex sponge
This trial tests a sponge-like implant (Spongioflex) to replace part of a torn meniscus in the knee. It may help people with pain on the inner or outer side of the knee who have enough healthy rim left to hold the implant.
Greven, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–60 - NCT06082531Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma injection for knee osteoarthritis
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from your own blood can help knee pain caused by osteoarthritis or injuries to the cartilage and meniscus. It may be an option if you are between 20 and 60 years old and have not had recent steroid shots or certain health problems.
Xi'an, ShannxiAges 20–60 - NCT06541756Recruiting
Fibrin clot repair for torn knee cartilage
This trial tests whether adding a fibrin clot to standard meniscus repair helps heal a torn knee cartilage better. You'd get surgery, then an MRI one year later to check healing.
AnkaraAges 18–50 - NCT03441165Recruiting
Measure knee looseness during ACL and meniscus surgery
This trial checks how loose the knee feels during surgery for ACL reconstruction, ACL revision, or meniscus transplantation. The goal is to better assess knee stability during the operation, which may help surgeons choose the best repair.
Bologna, ItaliaAges 14–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for meniscus injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting meniscus 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 meniscus 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 meniscus 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.
