Magnetic therapy for knee cap pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive magnetic therapy to reduce knee pain and improve function in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the knee cap). It may help if you've had knee pain for at least 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of hands-on treatments—Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Muscle Energy Technique—to see which works better for kneecap pain. It aims to find a therapy that can help reduce your pain and improve movement.
This study tests a rehabilitation program that focuses on body awareness to help people with kneecap pain feel better physically and emotionally. You would do exercises that are designed to improve how you move and reduce pain.
This study compares two physical therapy techniques for treating patellofemoral pain syndrome (knee pain around the kneecap). One technique focuses on releasing a specific muscle behind the knee, while the other focuses on improving how the kneecap moves. The goal is to find which approach better reduces pain and improves function.
This study compares two physical therapy approaches for knee cap pain: one using a muscle relaxing technique alone, and the other adding a specific kneecap glide movement. It aims to see which method better reduces pain and improves function.
This trial tests a hands-on therapy called compressive myofascial release for the muscle on the outside of your thigh. It aims to see if it helps with kneecap tracking problems that cause pain during daily activities.
