TENDINOPATHY

This study compares two treatments for a common shoulder tendon problem that causes pain and limits movement. Forty adults with shoulder pain lasting at least four weeks will receive either a needle-based electrical treatment (electrolysis) or laser therapy. The goal is to see wh…

This study compares two methods—vibration and cooling spray—to see which reduces pain during corticosteroid injections for arthritis, tendinopathy, or nerve compression in the hand, wrist, or elbow. About 165 adults will rate their pain after receiving injections with one of thes…

This early-stage study tests whether metformin, a common diabetes pill, can reduce pain and help heal the Achilles tendon in people with chronic tendinopathy. Forty non-diabetic adults will take either metformin or a placebo for 16 weeks, along with a home exercise program. The g…

This study will follow 10,000 adults with joint or tendon problems (like knee arthritis or tennis elbow) who receive a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Researchers will track pain, physical function, and patient satisfaction for one year to see how well PRP works. Participan…

This study tests whether OSTENIL TENDON, a gel injected into the tendon area, can safely reduce pain and improve movement in people with four types of tendon problems (kneecap, ankle, elbow, or hip). About 84 adults will receive the treatment as part of their normal care. Researc…

This study looks at two ways to surgically cut a hip tendon to relieve pain after a total hip replacement. About 108 adults with confirmed tendon irritation from the artificial hip joint will be randomly assigned to one of two tendon-cutting techniques. The main goal is to see wh…

This study tests a procedure called transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) combined with physical therapy for people with long-lasting shoulder pain from rotator cuff tendinopathy. About 41 participants will either get TAE plus physical therapy or physical therapy alone. The g…

This study tests a new ultrasound method called SURE that can see the smallest blood vessels in tendons. Researchers will compare 135 people with and without tendon overuse injuries to see if blood flow patterns differ. The goal is to better understand and potentially improve dia…
