Influencing Factors of Acute Achilles Tendinopathy in Runners

AchTend
Start date: June 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Achilles tendinopathy is highly prevalent in runners, but its evolution is not easily predictable. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of clinical and social factors on the prognosis of acute (less than 3 months) Achilles tendinopathy in runners. Runners will be evaluated in person twice. At their first visit, data related to their training (frequency, intensity, …), their running pattern (cadence, foot contact angle) and shoes (minimalist index) will be collected. Moreover, an ultrasound evaluation of Achilles tendon will be performed. At one, two and three months after their initial evaluation, participants will receive a link to complete an online survey about their pain. Three months after their initial evaluation, a second ultrasound of Achilles tendon will be performed.

Start date: June 14, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to measure local and systemic safety and tolerability as well as improvement of Achilles tendon mechanical properties after a single peritendon injection of NGI226 MP in comparison to placebo MP in patients with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy.

NCT ID: NCT05464498 Recruiting - Tendinopathy Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Collagen-based Medical Device Treatment Combined With Physiotherapy in Subjects With Achilles Tendinopathy.

AKITENMED
Start date: June 13, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Achilles tendinopathy is a condition characterized by inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Achilles tendinopathies are classified into insertional tendinitis and noninsertional tendinitis. Insertional tendinitis involves the lower part of the tendon, where the tendon inserts at the level of the calcaneus, and can affect even patients who are not particularly athletically active. Noninsertional tendinitis occurs when the fibers in the middle portion of the tendon are affected, affects young and athletic people the most, and has a high incidence (30-50%) in middle-aged individuals. Considering that there are no strong evidence-based guidelines in the area of treatment of achilles tendinopathy, the aim of this research project is to understand through a multicenter, randomized clinical investigation the impact of treatment with a porcine collagen-based medical device administered in the peri-tendon area in combination with physiotherapy on pain reduction and functional improvement of the investigated tendon.

NCT ID: NCT05301959 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Achilles Tendinopathy

Efficacy of Percutaneous Electrolysis in the Treatment of Achilles Tendinopathy

Start date: July 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is one of the most reported myotendinous pathologies due to overuse in the literature. In the general adult population, its incidence is 2.35 cases per 1,000 patients, with no difference between men and women. The international literature reports that up to 29% of patients fail with conservative treatment. Within physiotherapy, new alternatives for the treatment of tendinopathies arise, applying electric currents percutaneously, which from a mechanical effect associated to the use of a needle and an electric effect by the use of galvanic currents, generate a local inflammatory response; activation of the central nervous system and analgesia. The aim of the research is to evaluate the efficacy of adding low intensity percutaneous electrolysis to the treatment with a high load eccentric exercise program based on the protocol of Silbernagel et al. in adults with Achilles tendinopathy to improve its functionality. A randomized, double-blind, blinded, evaluator-blinded, controlled clinical trial will be conducted in parallel groups (experimental treatment vs. sham treatment), with a follow-up at 26 and 52 weeks after the first intervention. Non-probability and intentional sampling will be performed.

NCT ID: NCT05241197 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Achilles Tendinopathy

Effects of Low-load Resistance Training With Blood Flow Restriction in Patients With Achilles Tendinopathy

Start date: April 29, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Midportion Achilles tendinopathy (MAT) is a common overuse injury of the lower extremity characterized by the presence of pain, restricted function and interruption of sport activities. Conservative management of MAT has been suggested as the first line of treatment. Actually, there are several exercise programs with beneficial effects on pain and function among which high load training stands out. However, this training modality is inherently difficult to implement in certain populations and pathological conditions due to their inability to tolerate this mechanical stress. In this sense, low load training with blood flow restriction (BFR-LLT) emerges as an effective option in producing hypertrophic adaptations with low intensities (30% 1RM). However, this training modality has not yet been studied in tendon pathology. The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential clinical effects of BFR-LLT in comparison with HLT in patients with chronic MAT.

NCT ID: NCT05105269 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Achilles Tendinopathy

Managing Achilles Pain II

MAP II
Start date: November 17, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Although some people are more at risk than others, developing a painful Achilles tendon (known as Achilles tendinopathy) can affect anyone. It is a common and disabling condition affecting walking, running and work. To reduce the pain and disability, exercise is a commonly used treatment by physiotherapists. However, success varies. This is why the proposed research is needed, to identify the factors that predict changes in pain and disability from treatment with a physiotherapist. The investigators' previous research suggests the working relationship or 'alliance' between the physiotherapist and patient, the patient's expectations, and the patient's confidence to carry out exercise might be important, but further research is needed to determine this. The investigators have designed a multi-centre, longitudinal cohort study to assess whether working alliance, patient expectations of treatment success, and confidence to perform exercise (self-efficacy) predict changes in pain and disability from a treatment programme prescribed by a physiotherapist for Achilles tendinopathy at twelve weeks. Patients, diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy by their treating physiotherapist, will be introduced to the study through a verbal discussion and provided with details of the study's website (www.managing-achilles-pain.com). The website provides password protected information (the participant information sheet, consent form and a questionnaire measuring clinical outcomes and the predictive factors). The participant is asked to complete the questionnaire on three occasions; baseline, six weeks later and twelve weeks after baseline.
