NCT ID NCT06910150

First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether one session of electrical stimulation on the thigh muscle can reduce pain and improve knee movement in people who recently had ACL surgery. About 45 adults will be split into three groups: one gets standard rehab, and two get extra electrical stimulation (either on the skin or with a needle). Researchers will check pain, strength, and quality of life right after treatment and up to a week later.
