NCT ID NCT07555184
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
Achilles tendinopathy causes pain and stiffness in the ankle tendon, making daily activities hard. The main treatment is a program of specific exercises, but many people struggle to keep them up. This study will interview up to 30 adults who have had NHS physiotherapy for this condition to understand what helps or hinders them from sticking with the exercises. The goal is to use these insights to design better support for future patients.
