Active clinical trials for "Tendinopathy"

Needle aspiration of calcific deposits (NACD ) is the treatment of choice for calcific tendinitis which does not respond to conservative treatment. NACD is effective in approximately 70% of the patients.When NACD is not effective, surgery is often the only treatment that remains.Surgery, however, is discouraged by th e Dutch guidelines for diagnosing and treating patients with subacromial pain syndrome.Therefore,both patients and the doctors treating those patients will benefit from a more effective minimal invasive treatment for calcific tendinitis.Injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) might, considering its positive effect on tissue repair, be a possible solution here.Previous research investigating the effects of PRP on other tendinopathies did, however, show controversial results. The aim of this double-blind randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of the adjuvant application of PRP after NACD on pain reduction ,recovery of shoulder function, tendon recovery,resorption of calcific deposits, the percentage of patients with persistent complaints and quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tendoactive, eccentric training, or the combination or both could be effective in the treatment of Achilles tendinopathy.

A Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of MRX-7EAT Etodolac-Lidocaine Topical Patch in the Treatment of Tendonitis and Bursitis of the Shoulder.

The purpose of the study is to explore the potential usefulness of a heated lidocaine 70 mg and tetracaine 70 mg topical patch for the treatment of pain associated with patellar tendinopathy.

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of once daily application of a diclofenac sodium patch to the skin near or over the painful area. In this study, the location being studied will be one of the following: the affected shoulder, elbow, or wrist. The secondary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of the diclofenac patch on the subject's skin, in the location being studied.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether LED phototherapy using combined red and near infrared light (approved: Ministry of Health of Russian Federation No. 29/06070997/1080-00, EUROCAT Certificate No. CP033321-IV) is effective in the treatment of musculoligamentous lesions in physiotherapy practice

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of extracorporeal Shock wave therapy (ESWT) on functional activity and pain in patients with Achilles tendinopathy

There is still limited number of studies in the literature provides insufficient evidence to support the use of ESWT in the treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy and the contribution of a placebo effect to the shock waves was not assessed by previous study. So the investigators conducted a double-blinded randomized-controlled trial at the orthopedic out-patient clinic, Department of Orthopedics, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital between December 2016 and June 2018. Hypothesized that ESWT might be effective on insertional Achilles tendinopathy

This is a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with individuals who have chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT). This study investigates the effects of education on outcomes (specified in hypotheses below) related to participation in an exercise program. Participants will be randomized to one of two educational programs. All participants will receive the same exercise intervention. This study will consent and randomize 66 participants, who will complete 2 in-person evaluation sessions (baseline, 8-week follow-up), 8 treatment sessions with a physical therapist (between baseline and 8-week follow-up), and 1 online evaluation sessions (12-week follow-up). We hypothesize that 1) a biopsychosocial approach to education will decrease pain (NPRS) and disability (PROMIS physical function) more than the standard of care for patients with AT, 2) exercise will improve all three pain mechanisms examined in this RCT (increased PPT, decreased kinesiophobia, increased number of heel raises).

The supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy show a big impact, however, there is a lack of awareness about the options of the physiotherapist treatment. It is necessary to do studies about effectiveness of therapeutic percutaneous electrolysis (EPTE®). This technique enables treatment of the tendinopathies and the broken muscle fibrilare. It is base on the application of galvanic current through a acupuncture needle. To analyze the effectiveness of therapeutic percutaneous electrolysis (EPTE®) in the treatment of supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. Single center randomized controlled trial, parallel treatment design. A specialist physician will be diagnosed the supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive treatmen for 4 weeks: EPTE® associated with eccentric exercises or dry needling with the same eccentric exercises. Both interventions were performed under ultrasound guidance with a portable ultrasound (General Electric LogicE). Data will be collected by a blinded evaluator.
