This study compares two types of injections—hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—for treating chronic tendon pain, such as Achilles tendinopathy and golfer's elbow. Eighty adults with pain lasting over three months will receive two injections, two weeks apart, and be fo…

Achilles tendinopathy is a painful condition of the tendon at the back of the ankle. Researchers are testing whether injecting a collagen-based medical device around the tendon, combined with a physiotherapy program of eccentric strengthening exercises, improves pain and function…

This study looks at whether adding a special needle treatment (low-intensity electrolysis) to standard exercises helps people with long-lasting Achilles tendon pain. About 102 adults with Achilles tendinopathy will receive either the real treatment or a sham version, plus exercis…

This study looks at whether a quick session of electrical stimulation can lower pain and help people with Achilles tendon injuries move better. About 30 adults with Achilles tendinopathy or a past rupture will try two different stimulation methods. The goal is to see if this appr…

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 a progressive exercise program for people with Achilles tendon pain, combined with education and clinician support. Researchers aim to find an effective rehab approach that improves access to care, especially for military personnel. The trial will enroll 160 adul…

This study looks at whether a movement screening test can accurately detect changes in Achilles tendon pain in runners over 40. Forty senior runners with Achilles tendinopathy will be randomly assigned to two physiotherapy groups, one with extra stretching. The goal is to see if …
