What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

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 weeks and check if re-injury rates drop over a year. The goal is to see if starting plyometrics sooner helps athletes return to sport faster and safer.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 120 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. participants are required to have performed either recreational running or participated in sports that include running or jumping activities (e.g., football, basketball, handball, volleyball) at least once per week for at least three months immediately prior to pain onset 2. have had symptoms for at least three months 3. have pain/soreness with palpation of the tendon/fascia 4. mean pain during the past week of at least 2 on a 0 to 10 Numerical Rating Scale 5. pain during a pain provocation test (patellar tendinopathy: five single-legged decline squats, Achilles tendinopathy and plantar fasciopathy: ten single-legged heel raises) Exclusion Criteria: 1. previous lower-extremity surgery 2. other lower-extremity musculoskeletal conditions that have required treatment by a healthcare professional during the past three months 3. pregnancy 4. diabetes 5. history of inflammatory systemic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis or spondylarthritis) 6. having received an injection with corticosteroid within the past six months.
