First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a 6-week, self-guided online education program can help Boston Marathon runners with patellofemoral pain (runner's knee) feel better and run better. About 104 runners will be split into two groups: one gets the program before the marathon, the other after. The goal is to see if learning about knee pain management improves pain, function, and race performance.
