Study of treatment for a painful discoid meniscus in children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is for children who have a painful discoid meniscus (a cartilage in the knee) confirmed by an orthopedic exam and MRI. It tests whether a specific study approach can help symptoms in children, while avoiding people who may need different knee treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a smart wearable device for remote rehabilitation at home helps you recover better after knee surgery for a discoid meniscus. You would do exercises guided by the device, and doctors can monitor your progress remotely.
This trial tests a donated human meniscus implant (Spongioflex®) for people who have lost part of the wedge-shaped cushion in their knee and have pain on that side. The goal is to replace the missing piece and relieve pain, helping you avoid or delay more serious surgery.
This trial tests a new approach to prevent arthritis after surgery to remove part of a torn meniscus. It looks at whether a treatment can stop the knee from wearing down after the operation.
This trial looks at a treatment for a specific knee alignment and tissue problem inside the inner (medial) part of your knee. It may help people whose deep-squat knee pain is caused by rubbing (“impingement”) between the femur and the back part of the medial meniscus.
This early-phase study tests whether AM3101 can improve healing of a meniscus tear in the knee. Participants must meet age, scan, and health-lab requirements, and they will be closely followed during recovery to check safety and benefit.
This trial tests a special sleeve designed to help reduce pain and improve recovery after knee surgery for a torn meniscus. It may be a good option if you are having this type of knee surgery and are in generally good health.
