Recruiting studies
- NCT05701592Recruiting
Testing two-bundle surgery for a torn knee ligament
This trial studies outcomes after a specific type of knee surgery for a torn ligament in the back of the knee. It may help people with a confirmed ligament tear who have pain and instability, by improving how well the knee works after reconstruction.
Bełchatów, Łódź VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT05584020Recruiting
ACL repair vs. reconstruction for a recent tear
This study compares two ways to repair a torn ACL: stitching it back together (repair) versus using a graft from another tendon (reconstruction). It is for people who have a fresh, uncomplicated ACL tear and want to see which approach works better.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06664047Recruiting
Two ACL repair methods compared for better recovery
This trial compares two different ways to repair a torn ACL (with an extra stabilizing procedure) to see which works better. It is for people with an isolated ACL tear who haven't had knee surgery before and are between 18 and 50 years old.
AnkaraAges 18–50 - NCT06956339Recruiting
Bracing vs Surgery for First-Time ACL Tear
This trial compares a new bracing treatment (Cross Bracing Protocol) versus standard surgery for people who have torn their ACL for the first time. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 16–40 - NCT07423767Recruiting
Counseling before ACL surgery to reduce fear and improve recovery
This study tests whether a short counseling program before ACL surgery can help reduce fear of movement and improve recovery. If you are preparing for your first ACL reconstruction, this program may help you feel more confident and get back to activities sooner.
Beijing, None SelectedAges 18–45 - 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 - NCT07485530Recruiting
Testing ultrasound strain tracking for physical therapy
This trial tests whether a new ultrasound method (speckle tracking) can measure soft tissue movement and strain to help guide physical therapy. It is looking for three groups: male pitchers, people with a foot tendon problem needing surgery, and people who had ACL knee surgery.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT07185802Recruiting
PRP injection for recent ACL injury
This trial tests whether a shot of your own concentrated platelets (PRP) into the knee improves healing after a recent ACL injury. It's for people with mild to moderate ACL tears and no major other knee damage.
DhakaAges 18–50 - NCT06368544Recruiting
Early walking training after ACL knee surgery
This trial studies whether starting walking exercises earlier after ACL reconstruction can help protect the knee cartilage from wearing down. It may be a good fit if you are having your first ACL surgery at Peking University Third Hospital and your knee has already healed from the initial injury.
BeijingAges 18–40 - NCT07090616Recruiting
Comparing two knee braces after ACL surgery
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+ - NCT06341868Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for ACL recovery in military cadets
This trial tests whether a special electrical stimulation device (KneeStim) can help military academy cadets recover faster after ACL reconstruction surgery. It aims to improve muscle strength and knee function using gentle electrical pulses during rehabilitation.
West Point, New YorkAges 17–27 - 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 - NCT07306221Recruiting
Balance training after ACL surgery using visual guides
This study tests if a special video-based balance training program helps people recover knee function better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It is designed for patients who had surgery within the past year using their own hamstring tendon.
BeijingAges 18–45 - NCT05985772Recruiting
Surgery vs no surgery for a type of knee tear
This trial compares surgery with non-surgical treatment for a specific tear in the knee's meniscus, the posterior-medial root tear. It aims to find out which approach works better and helps you decide with your doctor.
