Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy in Patients With Patellar Tendinopathy on Its Micromorphology

Start date: May 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This work is designed as a prospective cohort study, in which the effects of low-energy focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in patients with Patellar tendinopathy (AT) will be monitored on its micromorphology. It is estimated that at least 20 patients will participate. In addition, there will be a small control group of healthy tendons which will be monitored to observe magnitude of natural changes.

Efficacy of a Physical Rehabilitation Program Using Virtual Reality in Patients With Chronic Tendinopathy (Virtendon-Rehab)

VirtendonRehab
Start date: October 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Chronic tendinopathies (CT) have a high prevalence (30% of musculoskeletal injuries), causing pain, decreased physical activity and functionality, as well as limitations in daily life. Virtual reality (VR) fosters patient recovery through playful activities that promote competitiveness, stimulates motivation and continuous attention, allows individualizing the exercise program, objectively assessing the execution of the treatment and monitoring the patient's evolution. Therefore, the VIRTENDON-REHAB project aims to conduct a low-risk randomized controlled clinical trial to analyze the efficacy of a VR-based physical rehabilitation program in a population diagnosed with CT on pain, functionality, range of motion, strength, muscle activation pattern, kinesiophobia, quality of life, adherence to treatment and patient satisfaction with the use of the system, compared to a control group. Likewise, the aim is to characterize the clinical profile of this population and to know the relationships between the previous variables. Measurements will be taken at the beginning of the intervention, at the end (12 weeks) and 3 months after the end of the intervention. A descriptive analysis will be performed, inter- and intra-group differences will be analyzed by means of t-Student, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney U and mixed ANOVA tests. Cohen's d will be used to determine the effect size. Relationships between variables will be analyzed using structural equations. The results obtained will allow improving knowledge on the management of CT using VR, as well as improving clinical care and reducing healthcare costs.

NCT ID: NCT05731037 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Patellar Tendinopathy

Influence of Restitution Time in Treatment of Patellar Tendinopathy

TEREX
Start date: March 2, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the present project is to investigate if the restitution time from loading in an exercise-based 12 weeks rehabilitation regime for patellar tendinopathy influences the clinical outcome, tendon structure and function. The investigators hypothesize that greater restitution from loading (1 exercise day per week) will yield a greater positive clinical outcome, and tissue structure and function in patients with patellar tendinopathy compared to less restitution (3 exercise days per week), when impact activities are restricted in both groups.

Effect of Collagen/Vitamin C in Jumper's Knee; a RCT

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

Patellar tendinopathy (PT) is a tendon overuse injury with high prevalence rates in elite and recreational athletes. PT sometimes results in a prolonged absence from sport participation, hampering individuals to achieve their desired performance levels and to benefit from the health related effects of sports participation. Many treatment options are used but management of PT remains challenging. Current treatment involves progressive education, load management and tendon loading exercises (PTLE). Recent studies have shown that nutrition can positively affect collagen synthesis in musculoskeletal tissues. A study showed that supplementing 15g of gelatine combined with 50mg of Vitamin C, 1 hour before loading exercises, resulted in an increase in whole body collagen synthesis and increased mechanics and collagen content of human engineered ligaments. However the effectiveness of oral supplementation of hydrolysed collagen in combination with vitamin C in athletes with PT has not been studied in a randomized controlled trial yet. Objective: The primary aim of this RCT is to evaluate whether the use of oral supplementation of hydrolysed collagen/vitamin C in addition to usual care (education, load management and PTLE) is superior to usual care and placebo on VISA-P score after 12, 24 and 52 weeks for athletes with PT. The secondary aim of this RCT is to evaluate whether the use of oral supplementation of hydrolysed collagen/vitamin C in addition to usual care (education, load management and PTLE) is superior to usual care and placebo on other clinical outcome parameters, functional tests and tendon structure after 12 and 24 weeks for athletes with PT.

Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) Injection in the Treatment of Patellar Tendinopathy

Start date: July 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is the evaluation of clinical and radiological results after the treatment of patellar tendinopathy through the injection of autologous ultrasound-guided, intra- and peri-tendon stromal vascular fraction.

NCT ID: NCT04650997 Completed - Clinical trials for Patellar Tendinopathy

The Mechanical,Physiological and Therapeutic Effects of Eccentric Exercise Combined With Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy in Athletes With Patellar Tendinopathy

Start date: February 16, 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patellar tendinopathy is one of the most common injuries in jumping athletes. Changes in mechanical and physiological properties of tendon are the two proposed forms of pathogenesis. The efficacy of eccentric exercise when applied alone and combined with extrocoporeal shockwave therapy had been reported; however, the underlying treatment mechanisms of pain and dysfunction are not clear. This project aimed to explore the mechanical, physiological and therapeutic effects of eccentric exercise when applied as a single treatment and as an adjunct to extracorporeal shockwave therapy.

NCT ID: NCT04640337 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Patellar Tendinopathy

Influence of Placebo on Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis in Patellar Tendinopathy

Start date: October 16, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main aim of this study is to verify the influence of placebo on the effectiveness of Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis (IPE) in patients suffering from with chronic patellar tendinopathy (PT). The secondary aim is to investigate the possible influence of the IPE on pain perception and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in patients with chronic PT.

Electromyographic Evaluation of Quadriceps During Eccentric Decline Squat

Start date: December 15, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Previous studies have generally investigated patellar tendon stiffness, cross-sectional area of patellar tendon, patellar tendon length, patellar force and patellafemoral forces during decline squat. However, there is just a few study about electromyographic (EMG) activity during the eccentric squating, which is about rectus femoris (RF) recruitment. In the present study the investigators primarly aimed to quantify the activation of RF, vastus lateralis (VL), and vastus medialis obliqus (VMO) during eccentric squat on different decline angle (0, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°). An additional purpose of our study was to compare the changes in muscle activation at various arc of knee flexion motion (degrees of 0-30, 30-60, 60-90, 0-60, 30-90, 0-90).The investigators hypothesised that the recruitment of RF, VL, and VMO during eccentric squat would differ according to decline angle and arc of motion.
