Counseling before ACL surgery to reduce fear and improve recovery
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a short counseling program before ACL surgery can help reduce fear of movement and improve recovery. If you are preparing for your first ACL reconstruction, this program may help you feel more confident and get back to activities sooner.

This study compares how well people recover after two different types of ACL surgery: reconstruction (using a graft) and primary repair (stitching the torn ligament). It will help doctors understand which approach leads to better knee function long-term. Participants must be between 18 and 40, had their ACL surgery at Gazi University, and be at least one year past surgery.
This study looks at whether doing physical therapy before surgery can improve tendon healing, bone density, and joint cushioning after ACL surgery or patellar dislocation surgery. It may help you recover better and faster by optimizing your knee before the operation.
This study looks at how your exercise habits before surgery might affect your knee function and the chance of re-injury after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It aims to help doctors give better advice on post-surgery rehabilitation.
This trial studies whether starting walking exercises earlier after ACL reconstruction can help protect the knee cartilage from wearing down. It may be a good fit if you are having your first ACL surgery at Peking University Third Hospital and your knee has already healed from the initial injury.
This trial tests if extra psychological support before anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery helps people who are very afraid of the operation. You would attend remote counseling sessions to see if they improve your recovery.
This trial tests whether doing special exercises before ACL surgery (called prehabilitation) helps you recover better after the operation. It's for people who have a first-time ACL tear and are scheduled for reconstruction surgery using a tendon from their own body.
