This trial tests whether a hamstring strengthening program helps people with hypermobile conditions improve knee stability and reduce symptoms. You'll work with the study team to do specific exercises, and they'll check how your knees feel and function.
This study tests a regenerative medicine approach for people with joint looseness (hypermobility) or instability that causes long-term pain. It uses injections (like dextrose, platelet-rich plasma, or a medication called doxycycline) to help strengthen the joint and reduce pain.
This study tests a new approach to treating long-lasting hip pain that combines psychology and exercise. It's designed for people whose hip pain is affected by worry or stress, and who aren't as physically active as they'd like to be.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive light therapy called photobiomodulation can reduce chronic pain and fatigue in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a genetic condition affecting connective tissue. The light is applied to the skin and may help cells produce energy and reduce inflammation.
