Influence of Placebo on Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis in Patellar

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial Description

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of placebo on the effectiveness of Intratissue Percutaneous Electrolysis (IPE) in patients with chronic PT. For this purpose a randomized clinical trial will be carried out, with a sample of patients diagnosed of chronic PT based on signs, symptoms and clinical examination. Subjects will be randomly allocated to four different groups: group E1, IPE will be applied, participants will believe they are receiving IPE; group E2, IPE will be applied, participants will believe they are receiving placebo; group P1, IPE will not be applied, participants will believe they are receiving IPE; and group P2, IPE will not be applied, participants will believe they are receiving placebo. IPE treatment will consist of a total of 3 sessions, with a time interval of one week between the 1st and 2nd sessions and 2 weeks between the 2nd and 3rd sessions. To evaluate the effect of intervention, the subjects will be assessed at baseline (V0), one week after the end of the intervention (V1) and 3 weeks after the intervention (V2). In V0, sociodemographic (sex, age, profession, height, body mass index (BMI), sport activity, hours of sport per week) and clinical data (associated pathologies, affected lower limb, dominant lower limb, duration of symptoms) will be registered. In each assessment time information regarding BMI, sports activity, hours of sport per week and location of pain will be obtained. Moreover, in all assessments participants were evaluated for four physical performance tests, pain and functional scales, ultrasound examination, pressure pain thresholds, conditioned pain modulation, and expectations questionnaires. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
