NCT ID NCT07466407
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking a supplement called HMB, along with a standard rehab program, can reduce pain and improve knee function in athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee). Thirty athletes will receive either HMB or a placebo for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, tendon thickness, and jumping performance to see if HMB provides extra benefits.
