Chitosan gel with ultrasound for repeat hamstring strain
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment that uses ultrasound to help a gel made from shrimp shells (chitosan) absorb through the skin to treat a repeat hamstring strain. It aims to see if this speeds up healing and helps you get back to football sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man between 18 and 35 years old.
- You must play recreational football at least two times a week (each session at least 45 minutes) for the past year.
- You must have a new hamstring injury in the same leg that was previously strained and treated within the last 2 years.
- Your current injury should have started within the last 3 to 10 days.
- You must not be allergic to shellfish, chitin, or chitosan (a substance from shrimp shells).
- You must not have other leg or back problems that would make testing unsafe.

This study tests whether dry needling, a treatment using thin needles to release muscle tension, helps football players recover from a hamstring injury that has lasted more than 3 months. It aims to see if this treatment can improve recovery and get players back to the game.
This study tests whether adding amino acid supplements to standard rehabilitation helps football players recover faster from a partial hamstring tear. It could help you get back to play sooner and stronger.
This study tests the best way to treat acute muscle injuries in the hamstring or calf. It compares different treatment approaches to help you recover faster and get back to your sport.
This study tests whether an investigational peptide called BPC 157 can help heal a grade II hamstring strain (a pulled muscle) faster and more completely. If you have a recent hamstring injury and are active in sports or exercise, this trial may be an option.
