Shock wave therapy after ACL surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if adding focused shock wave therapy to standard rehab can improve recovery after ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft. It may help reduce pain and speed up healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You have had a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in one knee only.
- You have not had any other knee injuries or previous ACL surgery on that knee.
- Your ACL was reconstructed using a hamstring tendon graft.
- You do not have conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or osteoporosis.
- You have not had a knee injection in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether shockwave therapy can help knee pain and function in people who developed knee osteoarthritis after an ACL reconstruction. If you had ACL surgery at least a year ago and still have knee pain, this treatment might offer a new option without surgery.
This trial tests if shock wave treatment can reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help people with moderate knee arthritis who haven't had recent physical therapy or joint injections.
This study tests whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (non-surgical shock waves delivered from outside the body) can improve movement and sensation after a recent spinal cord injury. It may help people recover motor (movement) and sensory (feeling) function within months after injury.
This trial tests whether focused shockwave therapy (a non-surgical treatment) can reduce knee arthritis pain. It specifically targets people whose MRI shows a small bone problem in one area of the knee.
This study tests whether a short course of high-frequency shock wave therapy (sound waves applied to the shoulder) can help heal partial rotator cuff tears and reduce pain. It's a non-invasive treatment option that may avoid surgery.
