Hip positions for knee pain in young men
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at whether different hip positions can strengthen the hip muscles that support the knee and help reduce pain from patellofemoral pain syndrome (a common knee condition in young people). It will compare results between men with knee pain and those without.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Are you a male between 18 and 35 years old?
- Do you have a normal weight (BMI between 18.5 and 24.9)?
- If you have knee pain, it must be just one knee and diagnosed as patellofemoral pain syndrome by a doctor.
- You have not had any surgery on your legs.
- You do not have any neurological or muscle/bone problems in your legs.
- Your knee pain is not from other issues like tendonitis or bursitis.

This trial tests if stretching the tensor fascia lata muscle (near your hip) changes how the muscle on the inside of your kneecap works. It is for people who have front knee pain without a specific injury, especially when doing things like running, squatting, or climbing stairs.
This study tests whether doing core exercises can help reduce knee pain in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome—pain at the front of the knee that comes on gradually. It is meant for young adults with a healthy weight who have had this type of knee pain for more than 3 months.
This trial tests if adding a groin-area mobilization to foot mobilization helps with kneecap (patellofemoral) pain. It may be for you if you have one-sided kneecap pain for at least 3 months, especially when climbing stairs, squatting, or sitting for long periods.
This trial compares two hands-on treatments for kneecap pain: one focuses on moving a nerve in the thigh, and the other uses gentle back and pelvis adjustments. It may help you find relief without surgery.
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 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.
