NCT ID NCT07605923
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a short course of the steroid methylprednisolone to standard pain medicine can reduce the need for strong narcotic painkillers after ACL knee surgery. About 64 people aged 14 to 65 will be randomly assigned to get either the steroid plus standard care, or standard care alone. Researchers will track pain levels, medication use, and recovery of knee motion for three months after surgery.
