Patellar tendinitis

This large real-world study is testing whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic tendinopathies, including patellar, Achilles, elbow, and plantar fasciitis. Researchers will follow 2000 participants for 12 months, tr…

This study is testing a handheld device called mScan that uses a tiny, painless electrical current to measure muscle health. Researchers want to see if it can give similar results to an MRI, but faster and more conveniently. The study involves 150 adults with and without muscle d…

This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for jumper's knee, a common overuse injury causing knee pain. Half the participants will receive extracorporeal shockwave therapy, which uses sound waves to stimulate healing, while the other half will receive dry needling, which in…

This study is testing a gel called OSTENIL TENDON to see if it safely reduces pain and improves movement in people with tendon problems. Researchers will enroll 84 adults with one of four types of tendinopathy. The main goal is to measure pain changes three months after treatment…

This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, applied before eccentric knee exercises, can improve pain and function more than exercise alone in people with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee). Forty-two adults with chronic knee pain will be randoml…

This study compares two exercise programs for people with long-term pain in the Achilles, patellar tendon, or plantar fascia. One group does standard strength training, while the other adds early jumping (plyometric) exercises. Researchers will measure jump function after 12 week…

This study tests whether adding fascial manipulation to standard shock wave therapy improves pain and knee function in people with patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee). 38 adults aged 18-45 will be randomly assigned to receive either shock wave therapy alone or combined with targe…

This study looks at how different types of electrical nerve stimulation affect leg strength in athletes with patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee). Nineteen athletes will try three stimulation methods in separate sessions to see which one best improves quadriceps strength. The go…

This study aims to find better ways to measure fatigue and walking problems in people with neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. Researchers will use a wearable sensor to track physical activity for one week in daily life and during a walking…
