Filter by:Comparative study to compare the effect of radial shockwave versus ultrasound phonophoresis in management of chronic supraspinatus tendinitis consists of 3 groups exp1(shockwave treatment + conventional physical therapy) , exp2( ultrasound phonophoresis+ conventional physical therapy) and control group ( conventional physical therapy)
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of extracorporeal shockwave(ESWT) combined with platelet-rich plasma(PRP) to treat chronic insertional tendinopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ESWT combined with PRP treatment reduce the symptom and improve functional score after treatment? What medical complication do participants have when receive the treatment? Researchers will compare ESWT combined with PRP to ESWT treatment alone to see if ESWT combined with PRP works to treat chronic insertional tendinopathy. Participants will: - Receive ESWT once a week for 4 weeks then receive PRP injection at a week later or ESWT once a week for 4 weeks - Visit the clinic at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after treatment for checkups and record functional score
The goal of this observational study is to understand how diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) relates to other traditional measures and knee function. The main question it aims to answer is: Will regions of known patellar tendon pathology present with smaller DTI scalar parameters, shorter fiber length, and lower fiber density compared to the contralateral tendon and healthy regions in the ipsilateral tendon. Participants will: - undergo MRI and ultrasound imaging - perform knee function test - complete questionnaires
The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of oral supplementation with a nutraceutical containing Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Manganese in functional outcome and pain reduction in cases of shoulder rotator cuff tendinopathy compared to a cycle of intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections. The project involves the recruitment of 50 adult individuals presenting with shoulder pain and instrumental evidence of rotator cuff tendinopathy. All participants will receive one intra-articular injection of 1 ml of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg. After the injection, participants will be divided into two groups according to Good Clinical Practice guidelines. One group will begin taking one vial per day for 56 days of an oral supplement containing Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Vitamin C, and Manganese (HA-COL) (Tendogenial®, B2Pharma) starting from the day following enrollment (Group 1). The other group will undergo a cycle of 3 intra-articular injections with hyaluronic acid (HA) (Hyalotend®, Fidia) (Group 2). The hypothesis is that oral supplementation with HA-COL may have the same efficacy as intra-articular hyaluronic acid treatment in reducing pain and improving shoulder functionality. Functional assessments will be conducted by a clinician unaware of the participants' group assignment. The following assessment scales will be used: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain (from 0 to 10), evaluating 3 aspects of pain: 1) pain at rest, 2) nocturnal pain, 3) pain during movement. Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ) for functionality. Assessments will be conducted at the following time points: T0) Before the administration of corticosteroid intra-articular injection (baseline). T1) Seven days after the start of HA-COL intake for Group 1 and before the first intra-articular HA injection for Group 2 (T1, seven days from T0). T2) At mid-cycle of oral HA-COL supplementation for Group 1 (28 days of intake) and seven days after the last HA injection for Group 2 (T2, 21 days from T1). T3) Follow-up at 28 days from T2, at the end of the 56-day oral treatment cycle for Group 1, and 28 days after the last injection for Group 2 (T3, 56 days from T0).
Multicentric, randomised study to compare the effectiveness on activity pain at 3 months of corticosteroid injection associated with hyaluronic acid with corticosteroids injection alone in patients with tendinopathy of the supraspinatus with clinical reevaluation at one, three and six months.
The goal of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of a home-based exercise protocol to formal physical therapy in patients who have been diagnosed with Achilles tendinopathy. The null hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the treatment outcomes between patients with Achilles tendinopathy who participate in a home-based program versus patients with Achilles tendinopathy who undergo formal physical therapy. Participants will be randomized to a 12-week home-based or formal physical therapy protocol and asked to complete brief outcomes surveys at their initial visit, and at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after their initial visit.
The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of extracorporeal shock wave combined with autologous platelet-rich plasma injection on the rehabilitation of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis, to provide new treatment methods and evidence for the rehabilitation of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis, and to reduce patients; pain and return to normal life as soon as possible.
The purpose of this research study will be to assess the effects of a compressive tissue flossing (CTF) program on the symptoms of lateral elbow tendinopathy in United States service members. Dependent variables will be the Defense and Veteran's Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS), decrease their Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) score, increase their maximal grip strength in the affected upper extremity (UE). Measurements will be taken at baseline, immediately after the first CTF intervention, and at the 1-week follow-up, for a total of 3 measurements.
This is a prospective randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled superiority trial with two parallel groups and a 1:1 allocation ratio to investigate the effectiveness of radiofrequency coblation micro-tenotomy for patients with Achilles tendinopathy. All participants will be randomized into two groups: the intervention group (n=24; radiofrequency coblation micro-tenotomy + endoscopic Achilles debridement) and the control group (n=24; endoscopic Achilles debridement only). Adults (age >18) with clinically diagnosed midportion Achilles tendinopathy will be recruited and scheduled for ultrasound screening. All participants will undergo a 12-week eccentric exercise program taught by a registered physiotherapist / athletic trainer. Undergo Endoscopic Achilles debridement and Radiofrequency coblation micro-tenotomy intervention. Criteria for discontinuing or modifying allocated interventions, Strategies to improve adherence to interventions, Relevant concomitant care permitted or prohibited during the trial and Provisions for post-trial care. Outocme measure will use VISA-A, pain scores, ultrasound measurement of thickness and vascularity, calf muscle strength, and ankle range of motion.
The aim of this study is to Compare functional outcome and the recovery time of reinsertion of achilles tendon VS zadek osteotomy in insertional achilles tendinopathy.
