Muscle supplement and rehab for jumper's knee
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a supplement called HMB, combined with a structured rehab program, helps athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) recover and return to sport. The study aims to see if adding the supplement improves outcomes compared to rehab alone.

This trial tests if extracorporeal shock wave therapy (a non-surgical treatment using sound waves) can help athletes with patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee. It is for people who have had pain in the patellar tendon for at least 6 months and are active in jumping sports.
This study tests whether resistance training can improve the health of the patellar tendon in people with patellar tendinopathy (pain at the knee cap). It may help you recover strength and reduce pain over time.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve knee function and reduce pain in people with long-term patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee). It may help by calming pain signals in the brain.
This study tests whether adding jumping exercises early helps people with long-lasting leg tendon pain recover faster.
This study looks at how athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) move compared to healthy athletes. It uses special motion tracking to identify differences that could help understand and manage this common knee pain.
This study tests a specific long-hold static (isometric) exercise for the knee tendon common in weightlifters, to see if it helps reduce pain and improve tendon health. It lasts 24 weeks with regular check-ups.
