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 whether adding gentle vibration to your rehab exercises helps your knee get stronger and work better after ACL surgery. If you join, you'll do your usual physical therapy, but some of the exercises will be done on a special vibrating platform.
This trial tests whether standing on a vibrating platform (whole-body vibration) can reduce knee cap pain and improve function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (a common cause of pain around the knee cap). It aims to find a drug-free way to help you feel better and move more easily.
This trial tests two types of mild electric stimulation (one with tiny needles, one without) applied to the thigh muscle to reduce pain in people who had ACL knee surgery in the last six weeks. The goal is to see if this can help you feel better and recover quicker.
