Shock therapy for knees: new study tests nerve zaps for ACL recovery
NCT ID NCT07569796
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a mild electrical stimulation to the sciatic nerve can improve recovery after ACL knee surgery. 62 people will either get standard physiotherapy, physiotherapy plus the real nerve stimulation, or a placebo version. The goal is to see if the stimulation boosts muscle strength, reduces pain, and improves knee movement.
