NCT ID NCT07468045
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether injecting hyaluronic acid into the knee or shoulder right after arthroscopic surgery helps with recovery and pain control. Nine adults aged 18 to 60 who had scheduled arthroscopy received the injection during their procedure. Researchers measured safety, range of motion, and pain scores over 24 weeks to see if the treatment improved outcomes.
