The POP-ACLR Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of four key ligaments in the knee. It is the most commonly injured knee ligament with an estimated 200,000 injuries occurring each year in the US (UK data unavailable). Surgery is currently standard treatment for this injury and helps patients return to work and their preinjury activity levels (such as running, playing football or netball). Patients expect surgery to be successful. However, the number of patients who are able to return to their normal activities is low, with only 24% returning at 1 year after surgery. Research has shown that after surgery, patients lack confidence, feel fearful about reinjuring their knee and need to continue to seek advice from healthcare professionals. Receiving physiotherapy before surgery (called 'prehabilitation') is recommended by researchers and physiotherapists to help patients prepare for surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. Although physiotherapy is recommended, some patients don't receive any treatment before their operation, but it is not known why this might be. There are also no guidelines for the treatment patients receive and current treatment varies. If an intervention to be delivered to patients prior to anterior cruciate ligament surgery (prehabilitation treatment package) is developed, patient care may be improved. Patient outcomes could also be improved resulting in more patients returning to physical activity after surgery. This study will firstly, interview participants at three different time points along the patient pathway (1) 12 participants up to 2 weeks before surgery, (2) 12 participants 3 months after surgery, (3) 12 participants 12 months after surgery. The interviews will allow participants to tell the story of their experiences from the point of receiving their injury diagnosis to returning to physical activity and what they expect from their surgery. Secondly, the prehabilitation treatment package will be designed with healthcare professionals, therapy managers and patients.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
