Neuromuscular exercise for knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific exercise program that improves the way your knee muscles work together, which may reduce pain and improve function in people with knee pain (patellofemoral pain). The study focuses on a particular subgroup of people with this condition to see if the treatment works especially well for them.

This study tests whether following a standard treatment guide helps active-duty service members with kneecap pain feel better. You would receive physical therapy and be monitored for a few weeks.
This study tests whether a specific type of strength training (exercises done to the point of muscle exhaustion) can reduce pain and improve movement in people with pain behind the kneecap, called patellofemoral pain. It aims to see if this training helps more than standard care.
This study tests whether two types of exercise—one focused on stabilizing the knee and another on correcting movement patterns—can improve pain and function in people with front-of-knee pain (also called patellofemoral pain). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two exercise programs.
This study compares two different exercise programs to see which one works better for relieving pain at the front of the knee (called patellofemoral pain). If you join, you will get physiotherapy sessions that may help improve your knee strength and reduce pain.
This study tests two hands-on therapies to ease kneecap pain. It may help if your pain has lasted at least three months and gets worse with stairs, running, or sitting for a long time.
This study compares three types of thigh muscle exercises to help reduce knee pain in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the kneecap). Researchers want to see which exercise style—holding steady, moving through motion, or lowering slowly—works best for your pain.
