STRIPE Trial Summary

This trial compares STRIPE, a novel 6-week strength training program, to a standard of care program to see if it reduces patellofemoral pain, improves function, and reduces recurrence.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 18-40 with patellofemoral pain that started on its own over 3 months ago and hurts at least a bit during activities like sitting long, jumping, or climbing stairs. It's not for those with other knee issues, history of knee cap dislocation, meniscus or ligament injuries, leg surgery, or pain from the lower back.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two 6-week rehab programs for knee pain: Standard of Care (SOC) vs. Strength Training with Power Exercises (STRIPE). It will check which program better reduces pain and prevents it from coming back while improving leg strength and squatting form.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, exercise-based rehab can sometimes lead to muscle soreness, joint discomfort or exacerbation of existing symptoms if not done correctly.

STRIPE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Strength Training Rehabilitation Incorporating Power Exercises (STRIPE)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Those in the STRIPE group will complete two power and one strength training sessions a week. All participants will be provided an educational pamphlet and exercises will be divided into four components - hip abductors, hip extensors, core, and quadriceps muscles. The load magnitude will be greater than 60% of the 1RM, with the goal of continually loading against heavy resistance. Participants will complete 4 sets of 6 repetitions, with 3-5 minutes of rest between sets. Time under tension will be prescribed as <1 second for the concentric phase and 1 second for the eccentric phase of the exercise. The strength training sessions will adhere to same parameters as the SOC. Hip abductor, hip extensor, and core exercises will be initiated during week 1 and continued for the 6-week intervention, while quadriceps focused exercises will be introduced in weeks 3-6.
Group II: Standard of Care (SOC)Active Control1 Intervention
The SOC rehabilitation group will complete three strength sessions a week. All participants will be provided an educational pamphlet and exercises will be divided into four components - hip abductors, hip extensors, core, and quadriceps muscles. The load magnitude for exercises will be between 60-70% of their 1 repetition max (1RM), with 3 sets of 12 repetitions and a 2-3-minute rest between sets. Time under tension will be prescribed as slow to moderate, with a 2-second concentric phase and 2-second eccentric phase for each exercise. Hip abductor, hip extensor, and core exercises will be initiated during week 1 and continued for the 6-week intervention, while quadriceps focused exercises will be introduced in weeks 3-6.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any available spots left in this research endeavor?

"The clinicaltrials.gov page shows that this research is now open for enrolment. It was publicly shared on October 13th 2022 and has been updated since then to reflect any changes in the study's parameters."

Answered by AI

Does this research permit elderly persons to partake in the experiment?

"To be accepted into this trial, patients must fall within the 18-40 years old age range. There are additionally 4 studies for those under 18 and 6 trials specifically targeting elderly individuals above 65 years of age."

Answered by AI

What is the total population engaged in this clinical exploration?

"Correct. According to the information on clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is in search of participants as it was initially posted on October 13th 2022 and recently updated that same date. The study requires 88 subjects from 3 different locations for completion."

Answered by AI

What are the principal aims of this investigation?

"The primary objective of this research is to observe the alteration in knee pain following treatment. Secondary goals include assessing changes in cognitive factors--measured by Fear-Avoidance Belief Questionnaire (FABQ)--, psychological factors--measured by PROMIS-10--, and coping strategies--evaluated using Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) scores. Group means and standard deviations related to these metrics will be reported at completion of study."

Answered by AI

Does this clinical trial offer open enrollment opportunities?

"This medical experiment will recruit 88 people, aged 18 to 40, who are suffering from patellofemoral pain. In addition to age requirements, the following conditions must be met: Symptoms of discomfort for longer than 3 months with intensity rating 3/10 when doing any of these activities - sitting for long periods time; jumping; squatting; kneeling; running and climbing stairs."
