The Efficacy of Brisement Compared to Physical Therapy for the Treatment of Achilles Tendinosis

Achilles Tendinopathy Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Prospective Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy of Brisement to Physical Therapy for the Treatment of Achilles Tendinosis

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound guided brisement, brisement without ultrasound guidance and standard conservative treatment in patients who have been diagnosed with Achilles tendinosis. We are asking you to take part in this research study because you are a patient of the Brigham Foot and Ankle Clinic who has been diagnosed with Achilles tendinosis. About 100 people will take part in this research study, all at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH).

To our knowledge, there has been very little research in the efficacy of the addition of briesment injections to standard, conservative treatment of Achilles tendinosis. We hope our results will show which method is the most effective conservative treatment for Achilles tendinosis. This information will help doctors make decisions in the future.
