Ultrasound on knee tendon for better jumping
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a quick ultrasound treatment to the patellar tendon (the tendon just below your kneecap) can improve your jump performance. It is for healthy young adults who have no knee problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a mild electrical current to a nerve in the groin area can improve thigh muscle strength in athletes with long-standing jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy). The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce pain and improve function.
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 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 trial tests whether a treatment called ultrasound-guided electrolysis therapy can reduce pain and improve tendon health in people with patellar tendinopathy (knee tendon pain). It compares the real treatment to a sham (fake) treatment to see if it works better.
This trial tests whether taking collagen plus vitamin C can improve “jumper’s knee” pain in active teens and young adults. It compares a supplement plan to see if symptoms and sports ability improve over time.
This study tests whether adding jumping exercises early helps people with long-lasting leg tendon pain recover faster.
