Official title Determining the Effects of Non-invasive Brain Stimulation to Improve Quadriceps Muscle Function After ACL Reconstruction
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07128602
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- After knee surgery for a torn ACL, many women struggle with weak thigh muscles for years, partly due to reduced brain signals to these muscles. Our research tests a new approach to improve recovery by using low-level brain stimulation to boost these signals.
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
