NCT ID NCT07401758
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding fascial manipulation to standard shock wave therapy improves pain and knee function in people with patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee). 38 adults aged 18-45 will be randomly assigned to receive either shock wave therapy alone or combined with targeted fascial therapy. Researchers will measure pain and knee function right after treatment and at 1 and 3 months to see if the combo approach provides better and longer-lasting relief.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with fascial manipulation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more effective, non-surgical treatment for patellar tendinitis with longer-lasting pain relief and better knee function.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 38 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment is also not a cure and only aims to ease symptoms temporarily.
