PATELLOFEMORAL PAIN SYNDROME

This study compares core stability exercises versus proprioceptive (balance) training in 63 adults aged 18-40 with patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner's knee). Participants will be assigned to one of two exercise programs to see which better reduces pain and improves knee functi…

This study investigates whether high-intensity laser acupuncture, combined with exercise, can reduce pain and improve knee function in people aged 18 to 25 with patellofemoral pain syndrome (front knee pain). Participants receive either real laser acupuncture or a sham laser, plu…

This study tests whether a device that delivers high-intensity electromagnetic pulses to the thigh muscles can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (front knee pain). Sixty adults with persistent knee pain will be randomly assigned t…

This study compares three types of knee-strengthening exercises (isometric, isotonic, and eccentric) in 90 adults aged 18-40 with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Participants will do their assigned exercises three times a week for 8 weeks, alongside standard physiotherapy. Research…

This study compares two types of exercise programs—functional stabilization training and comprehensive corrective exercises—to see which better improves knee alignment and reduces pain in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Researchers will enroll 60 adults aged 18-35 who h…

This study compares two physical therapy treatments for patellofemoral pain syndrome, a common cause of knee pain. Forty-five participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Mulligan mobilization with movement, phonophoresis with chitosan gel, or standard exercises for 4…

This study looks at two different exercise programs—cadence training and elliptical training—to see which one better reduces knee pain and improves leg power and endurance in cricketers with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Forty-eight male cricketers aged 18 to 35 will be randomly …

This study tests a new digital system that uses wearable sensors, cameras, and AI to guide people through knee rehab exercises at home. It focuses on two common knee problems: ACL tears and patellar pain. 160 adults aged 18-50 will do strength, balance, and stretching exercises f…

This study tests a special exercise program that focuses on body awareness and coordination for people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (pain around the kneecap). Sixty adults with knee pain for at least 3 months will be randomly assigned to either this new rehab or standard phy…

This study looks at how knee pain intensity relates to the knee's ability to sense its own position (proprioception) in people with patellofemoral pain syndrome. Researchers will measure pain and joint position error during a single-leg squat in 82 adults aged 18–35. The goal is …

This study looks at how two common leg injuries—ankle sprains and kneecap pain—affect balance in different directions. Researchers will measure stability in 90 people using a special balance machine. The goal is to find out if each injury causes a unique type of balance problem, …
