Active clinical trials for "Tendinopathy"

The German version of the Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire is tested for reliability, validity and responsiveness.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, also called subbracromial impingement syndrome, is one of the most important causes of anterior shoulder pain. Although exercise training is known as an effective intervention method in the treatment of rotator cuff/subacromial impingement problems, there is no definite consensus on which type of exercise is more effective. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the effects of the Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) training and eccentric exercise training on pain, function, supraspinatus tendon structure, muscle strength, range of motion, subjective perception of improvement and treatment satisfaction in individuals with subacromial shoulder pain associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the functional outcomes of patients with shoulder pathology treated with either ketorolac or corticosteroid injections, in a randomized double-blinded study. Investigators will compare the effectiveness of ketorolac compared to corticosteroid. Specific Aim 1: Hypothesis 1: Injection of the shoulder (in the subacromial space) with Ketorolac will be more effective than corticosteroid injection for the treatment of a variety of shoulder pathologies. The risks associated with this study primarily concern adverse reactions to the study drugs. The drugs used in this study are not narcotics or habit-forming but can have side effects. The patient's physician will screen for any heart, intestinal, or kidney disease or condition that would increase the chance for the patient to have an unwanted side effect.

Extra corporeal shock wave therapy is a treatment method in which high-amplitude sound waves are focused on the targeted body tissue Recently, Extra corporeal shock wave therapy has been proposed as an alternative treatment in patients not responding to pharmaceutical treatment.High power pain threshold ultrasound is the use of therapeutic ultrasound in a continuous mode; with the probe placed directly on affected area (supraspinatus tendon)

Gluteal tendinopathy, a degenerative condition of the gluteal tendons, is a common cause of lateral hip pain. It is three times more common in women, affecting up to 25% of those aged over 40 years. Research evidence supporting the most effective interventions remains limited. A 2018 landmark three-arm RCT (LEAP trial) in Australia compared EDucation on load management plus eXercise (EDX) against corticosteroid injection (CSI), and a 'wait-and see' control on pain and global improvement in 205 individuals with gluteal tendinopathy (Mellor et al, 2016; 2018). Results showed superior and significant positive effects in the EDX group, compared with CSI and wait-and-see groups at 8 weeks and 1 year. A total of 14 EDX sessions was provided over 8 weeks in LEAP, but in the public healthcare system in Ireland, typically 5-6 physiotherapy treatments are provided. Therefore, whilst the LEAP trial demonstrated positive effects for EDX, implementation into clinical practice in Ireland is questionable as 6 or less treatment sessions are typically provided in public and private settings in Ireland (French et al, 2020). This two-arm feasibility RCT aims to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a future RCT of a reduced dose (6 sessions) of a recently proven efficacious physiotherapy treatment of EDucation plus eXercise (EDX-Ireland) to usual care for gluteal tendinopathy in an Irish setting. A Study Within A Trial will evaluate if exercise adherence is improved with use of a smartphone app compared with paper-based diaries.

The purpose of the study is to assess Oxford Hip Score at baseline, at 2 months and at over 12 months.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether the use of waterproof padding in short leg walking casts will lead to an increase in cast-related complications, as compared to the standard non-waterproof casting in children.

Assess the clinical outcomes using atelocollagen injection in patients with calcific tendinitis.

This work is designed as a prospective cohort study, in which the effects of a protocol of 12-week resistance training loading the Achilles tendon in patients with Achilles tendinopathy (AT) will be monitored. It is estimated that at least 20 patients will participate. In addition, there will be a small control group of healthy participants which will not complete the same protocol, but will be monitored for natural changes in same objectives. Group of patients will be instructed to perform a training protocol.

To evaluate the feasibility of subantimicrobial -dose (SD) doxycycline to improve outcomes of nonsurgical management of elbow tendinopathy via matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition as well as evaluate if participants will be compliant to with prescribed medication and exercise treatment. Our working hypothesis is that patients with elbow tendinopathy will be receptive to treatment with SD-doxycycline and compliant with the prescribed treatment.
