Knee study withdrawn before it even started

NCT ID NCT07058467

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aimed to see if a hands-on knee joint manipulation could improve thinking and movement in people who had ACL reconstruction. It planned to enroll 30 adults aged 18-35 who were 4 months to 10 years past surgery. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.

Active substance

Joint manipulation (manual therapy)

What this could lead to

If it had worked, this could have pointed toward a simple, drug-free way to improve reaction time and movement after ACL surgery.

What could go wrong

The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available. It was a small, early feasibility study, not designed to prove effectiveness.
