Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of percutaneous electrolysis in posterior tibial tendinopathies. The posterior tibial tendon injury is one of the most frequent pathologies in the lower extremities, and therefore a correct study and evaluation of it is necessary. This study aims to compare the therapeutic effect of percutaneous electrolysis comparing a control group with an experimental group. To evaluate functionality, pain and its ultrasound pattern before and after treatment, in order to assess the efficacy of the treatment.


Clinical Trial Description

A single-blind, longitudinal, randomised, controlled, single-blind, longitudinal, randomised, controlled clinical trial will be conducted. First, the participant will receive a FOOT AND ANKLE ABILITY (FAAM) survey, along with a numerical pain scale, both of which must be completed. Next, an ultrasound study of the foot will be performed, focusing on pain in the inner ankle, to check for possible pathology in the posterior tibial tendon. Finally, the physiotherapist's intervention will be carried out to check the effectiveness of the technique, which may cause some pain, and finally, the numerical pain scale will be passed again. Four sessions will be carried out in four different weeks, always using the same day of the week for the intervention and following the same steps as above. The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of PD in posterior tibial tendinopathy and whether PD is therefore a safe technique for this type of intervention. All patients will sign an informed consent form and will be informed about the study beforehand. ;
