Summary

This study tested whether an injection made from donated amniotic membrane and umbilical cord tissue can help people with chronic Achilles tendon pain that hasn't improved with standard care like physical therapy. Twenty adults with long-term Achilles pain received either the injection or standard care. The goal was to measure pain reduction and function changes to plan a larger future study.
