A Comparison of Outcomes After Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus (ACL+Meniscus) Surgery Using Semiconductor Fabric Products
NCT06979804 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of semiconductor sleeves on the treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) or Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus (ACL+Meniscus) arthroscopic surgery. The effect of the sleeves will be analyzed through patient reported and clinically measured outcomes. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do the semiconductor sleeves improve the functional outcomes compared to the placebo? * Will patients experience improved functional outcomes in a shorter period of time compared to the placebo? Researchers will compare semiconductor fabric sleeves to a placebo (a look-alike sleeve that contains no semiconductor material) to see if the semiconductor fabric better treats ACL and ACL+meniscus surgical patients. Participants will: * Wear semiconductor or placebo leg sleeve for 4 weeks and knee sleeve for the following 12 weeks * Complete patient reported outcome surveys

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06979804
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06979804 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, 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 135 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Illinois Center for Orthopaedic Research and Education, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Semiconducting fabric sleeves is the first listed. 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: NCT06979804 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. 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.
