Active clinical trials for "Tendinopathy"

The primary objective of this research is to determine if the addition of topical GTN over 24 weeks to a 12 week exercise programme improves clinical outcomes more than placebo GTN for people with Achilles Tendinopathy. Pain in the Achilles tendon is a common condition seen by physiotherapists and doctors. It affects people involved in sports and those who are not. It can limit the ability to walk, hop, jump and run. If the pain persists for longer than 3 months it can become extremely difficult to abolish. As a result, people with this common condition can suffer from prolonged pain and often the pain will persist and affect everyday activities. While this is an easy injury to diagnose, it is not so easy to treat. Many treatments do exist, but often just provide short-term relief until the pain returns. Specific strengthening exercises have been shown to be beneficial in treating this condition. The current project will study Achilles tendon pain in Irish adults at Connolly Hospital, Dublin, and will take place from 2015 to 2019. In this study, there are two groups of patients. Both groups will perform an exercise program for 12 weeks. Physiotherapists will instruct them on how to perform the exercises. Each group will be given an ointment to place on the sore tendon using an applirule. This ointment will be applied daily for 6 months. One group will use an ointment containing nitroglycerin, the other group will use an ointment with no active ingredient. This is called a placebo. The patients will apply the ointment daily for 6 months. The patients will be assessed at the start of the program and after 6, 12 and 24 weeks. Our main question is to see whether this exercise program when combined with a nitroglycerin ointment applied directly over the sore tendon can improve the outcomes and recovery time for people who suffer with Achilles tendon pain.

This is a prospective single blinded randomised controlled trial with a 12-week intervention period and a half-year follow-up period. The main purpose is to determine the effects of isometric exercise on mechanical, morphological and functional tendon properties versus eccentric exercise in chronic Achilles tendinopathy.

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if focal shock wave is an effective treatment, with respect to hip pain and lower limb function, in a population affected by greater trochanteric pain syndrome with gluteal tendinopathy.

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

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).

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

The shoulder is a mobile structure which generates a lot of pathologies. One of them is rotator cuff tendinosis. On the other hand, it has been investigated that Maitland is effective for reducing pain and for mobility in the cervical and lumbar spine and in joints such as the knee and ankle, however, there are few studies that confirm that it is effective in shoulder pathologies.So here the investigatprs want to study the effectiveness of Maitland as an adjunctive treatment for shoulder pathologies, comparing it with conventional physiotherapy treatment, in relation to the reduction of pain and increased mobility. For that the investigators have a randomized clinical trial with two group.

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
