Hyperbaric oxygen therapy to speed recovery after ACL reconstruction
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help you recover faster after ACL knee surgery. If you're having ACL reconstruction, this treatment might reduce healing time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You have a torn ACL that needs surgery (with or without meniscus repair)
- You can attend all study visits and follow the plan
- You have no other knee injuries or previous knee surgeries
- You do not have conditions like asthma, sinus problems, epilepsy, claustrophobia, or cancer that could interfere with the treatment

This trial looks at how well your ACL graft (the repaired tissue) heals after ACL reconstruction when you use a specific rehab method called blood-flow restriction training. It may help your care team understand whether this rehab approach leads to better healing and function.
This trial tests a special training method called blood flow restriction (BFR) to help people recover strength after ACL reconstruction surgery. It uses a cuff to limit blood flow while doing light exercises, which may help you regain knee function faster.
This study uses a non-invasive light sensor to measure muscle oxygen levels during cycling exercises. It aims to improve rehabilitation for people who had ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction surgery.
This trial compares two techniques for ACL reconstruction—one uses an enriched, patient’s own bone during surgery and the other uses the standard approach. It may help researchers understand whether the enriched bone method improves knee healing and function.
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction training to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after ACL reconstruction surgery. Blood flow restriction involves using a cuff to partially limit blood flow during exercise, which may help build strength with lighter weights.
This trial studies whether a special exercise method that limits blood flow to the thigh (called blood flow restriction training) can improve quadriceps strength and function during recovery after arthroscopic ACL surgery. If you qualify, you would join a structured physical therapy program and follow the study’s rehab plan.
