Study to improve healing after knee muscle-tendon repair
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how to improve healing at the muscle-tendon connection after knee reconstruction surgery. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy, within a certain body-size range, and not using medicines that could change muscle or tendon healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having reconstructive knee surgery soon
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 35
- You are not using growth hormone or anabolic steroids now or in the past
- You have not used corticosteroids (steroid medicine) in the last 3 months
- You are not taking medicines known to affect muscle or tendon healing
- You have not joined a study that used deuterated water before

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at what is happening inside muscle tissue after calf or hamstring injuries (new, long-term, or after an Achilles tendon rupture). It may help researchers understand why injuries come back and how muscle healing could be improved.
This trial tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
This study tests whether gently stimulating the muscle on your healthy leg can help your thigh muscle 'wake up' and work better after ACL surgery. The therapy uses small electrical pulses to retrain the muscles.
This trial studies how your thigh muscle adapts after a simulated knee injury. It uses mild electrical stimulation and a small needle to measure muscle signals, and may help improve recovery after knee injuries.
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 if a mild electrical current to a nerve in the groin area can improve thigh muscle strength in athletes with long-standing jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy). The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce pain and improve function.
