Brain changes after ACL surgery with special training
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had ACL reconstruction surgery (at any hospital or clinic).
- You are between 18 and 30 years old.
- Before your injury, you were active in sports like soccer, basketball, or skiing (Tegner level above 6).
- You have no history of brain or nerve disorders, or previous surgeries on your leg.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no metal in your body that would prevent an MRI.
- You are able to understand the study and give your consent.

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 study compares two types of exercise programs for male athletes who had ACL reconstruction surgery 3 to 6 months ago. It aims to see which training approach helps you recover better and return to sports.
This study tests if a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS can improve how your brain controls leg muscles and speeds up recovery after ACL surgery.
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.
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.
