Functional training for iliotibial band syndrome in runners
Part of Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether functional motor control exercises can reduce pain and improve flexibility and leg function in runners with IT band syndrome. It may help you run without pain on the outside of your knee.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 40 years old.
- You run at least 15 km per week on average.
- You have had one-sided IT band pain for at least 3 months.
- You feel pain along the outside of your knee when running.
- You have stiffness when your hip is tested (Ober's test) and pain during Noble's compression test.

This study tests an exercise program to help people with IT band syndrome, a painful knee condition. The program is supervised by physical therapists and aims to improve your symptoms.
This study compares two gentle muscle-relaxing techniques to treat iliotibial (IT) band syndrome, a common cause of outer knee pain. It may help if you have had outer knee pain for more than 3 months and are between 19 and 45 years old.
This study tests whether a type of sound wave therapy (radial shockwave) can help relieve pain from iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) in active adults. If you have outer knee pain when running and have been diagnosed with ITBS in the last month, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if stretching the tensor fascia lata muscle (near your hip) changes how the muscle on the inside of your kneecap works. It is for people who have front knee pain without a specific injury, especially when doing things like running, squatting, or climbing stairs.
This trial tests whether a combination of hands-on joint mobilization techniques and specific movement control exercises can reduce pain and improve function in people with sacroiliac joint dysfunction (pain in the lower back/buttock area where the spine connects to the pelvis). You would receive these treatments over several weeks and be measured on pain relief, movement, walking, and daily activities.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program can improve symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who currently live a mostly sedentary, inactive lifestyle. It focuses on safety and feasibility (whether the program can be done and what symptom changes may occur).
