Brain training to improve muscle recovery after joint surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special balance and movement training (called proprioceptive training) can improve your walking and knee function after ACL reconstruction. It might help you recover better during early rehab.
This study looks at how doing a thinking task at the same time as a walking or balance task affects recovery in people who have had ACL reconstruction surgery. It may help you understand what to expect during later stages of rehab.
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 brain scans (fMRI) to see how a special type of movement training affects the brain after ACL surgery. If you've had an ACL repair and are active in sports, you may be eligible.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help your thigh muscle work better after ACL reconstruction surgery. It may improve muscle control and speed up your recovery.
This study tests whether adding brain-training exercises to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after surgery for shoulder instability. It may improve how well the shoulder works and how quickly you return to normal activities.
