Knee vibration therapy for ongoing front-of-knee pain after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a vibrating device on the front of the knee can reduce persistent pain after ACL reconstruction. It may help people whose pain is focused in one knee and isn’t caused by arthritis or other knee problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- Your ACL reconstruction was done on only one knee (not both)
- You still have ongoing pain at the front of the knee area
- Your symptoms are mainly limited to one knee area, without widespread other causes
- You have not had ACL reconstruction again (revision) on that knee

This study looks at whether using vibration after an ACL injury helps predict or reduce the risk of developing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear arthritis) later. It may help researchers learn which patients are more likely to develop arthritis after ACL reconstruction.
This study tests whether focused shockwave treatment can reduce knee pain in people who have had ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) reconstruction surgery. Shockwave therapy uses sound waves to reduce pain and inflammation.
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.
This study tests a nerve stimulation treatment for kneecap pain that gets worse with squatting or stairs. It aims to see if this approach helps people return to sports without pain.
This trial tests if whole-body vibration therapy can help reduce pain and improve function in adults with patellofemoral pain syndrome (a common cause of pain around or behind the kneecap). You stand on a gently vibrating platform to see if it strengthens muscles and eases discomfort.
This trial tests whether adding vibration treatments to standard physical therapy helps people regain muscle strength and function faster after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. The ACL is a key ligament in the knee that helps stabilize it.
