App-Based rehab for knee pain: could your phone replace the physio?

NCT ID NCT07544940

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a 6-week digital health program delivered through a smartphone app for people with patellofemoral pain (knee pain). 40 adults will either use the app or follow a self-guided exercise program. The goal is to see if the app improves knee function and reduces pain better than doing exercises on your own.

Active substance

digital health program (smartphone app)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a convenient, app-based way to manage knee pain and improve daily function without needing in-person therapy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The app-based approach may not work as well as hands-on care.
