Micro-Doppler Radar: A Gold Standard Comparison
NCT05521126 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if the study team can use micro-Doppler signal (MDS) technology to determine if someone has had an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The investigators will do this by comparing the movement data from a group of people who have had the surgery with a group who has not had the surgery to see if the micro-Doppler radar technology can accurately and predictably tell the difference.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05521126
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05521126 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 181 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, which has 277 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05521126 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
