Recruiting studies
- NCT05614908Enrolling by invitation
Testing outcomes after non-surgical Achilles tendon rupture care
This trial looks at how well people do after an Achilles tendon rupture when they are treated without surgery. It may help improve recovery guidance for others by comparing outcomes based on how care is followed.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07130357Recruiting
Collagen scaffold for Achilles tendon repair
This study tests whether adding a special collagen scaffold during surgery helps heal a torn Achilles tendon better than standard repair alone. The scaffold is made from cow collagen and is placed over the repair to support healing.
Shatin, New TerritoriesAges 18 years+ - NCT06723639Recruiting
Restoring the torn Achilles tendon
This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
Copenhagen, CapitalAges 18–67 - NCT07338110Recruiting
Achilles tendon surgery study
This study tracks people who have surgery to fix their Achilles tendon. It helps doctors learn more about how these surgeries go and how patients recover.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 7 years+ - NCT05241197Recruiting
Low-load leg training with blood flow restriction for Achilles pain
This study tests whether gentle resistance exercises plus a blood-flow restriction wrap can reduce long-lasting Achilles tendon pain. You may be asked to train in the clinic several times a week for 12 weeks.
Rosario, Santa Fe ProvinceAges 18–50 - NCT07453485Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for Achilles tendon pain and function
This study tests if a brief session of neuromuscular electrical stimulation can reduce pain and improve function in people with Achilles tendon problems, such as midportion or insertional pain, or a healed rupture that happened at least 3 months ago.
Brasília, Federal DistrictAges 18–60 - NCT06641401Enrolling by invitation
Endoscopic tendon transfer for acute Achilles rupture
This study looks at patients who had a specific type of surgery (endoscopic FHL transfer) for a recent Achilles tendon tear. It aims to check how well they recovered after at least two years.
Náousa, Central MacedoniaAges 18–18 - NCT06114368Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgeries for torn Achilles tendon
This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
Náousa, Central MacedoniaAges 18–75 - NCT06434272Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercise after Achilles tendon rupture
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a special cuff) to standard rehabilitation exercises can help people with a torn Achilles tendon recover better. It might be an option if you recently ruptured your Achilles and started treatment within 72 hours.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06009978Recruiting
Added muscle stimulation after Achilles tendon rupture
This trial tests whether adding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to standard care helps people recover better after an Achilles tendon rupture. It might improve strength and function in the leg.
Mölndal, VGregionAges 18–65 - NCT07025252Enrolling by invitation
VersaWrap patch for Achilles tendon repair
This trial tests a special wrap (VersaWrap) used during surgery to repair a torn or damaged Achilles tendon. It may help the tendon heal better and could be an option for people who need this type of surgery.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06912269Recruiting
Strength training for the calf after Achilles tendon rupture
This trial tests if strength training can improve calf muscle function in men who tore their Achilles tendon (up to 5 years ago) and had surgery. You cannot have done regular calf exercises recently or have certain health conditions.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–64 - NCT06254794Recruiting
Blood flow restriction rehab after Achilles tendon repair
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (BFR) to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after Achilles tendon repair surgery. You may be a good fit if you had a PARS or open repair and plan to rehab at a Methodist Hospital.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07561697Recruiting
Achilles Tendon Surgery Options for Clubfoot in Young Children
This study compares two surgical approaches to lengthen the Achilles tendon (the cord at the back of the heel) in young children with clubfoot—a condition where the foot is twisted inward and downward. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer complications.
Karachi, SindhAges 2–5 - NCT06886815Recruiting
Nerve block for Achilles tendon repair surgery
This trial tests if a nerve block in the back of the knee improves pain control after surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. It may help you recover more comfortably as a day surgery patient.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07131787Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training after Achilles tendon repair
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction training to standard rehab helps your Achilles tendon and calf muscle heal better after surgery. You would do exercises with a special cuff that gently limits blood flow to your leg.
Ghent, East-FlandersAges 18 years+ - NCT06214442Recruiting
Menstrual cycle and calf muscle properties in women
This study looks at how the menstrual cycle affects the calf muscles in women. It compares women with natural cycles and those taking birth control pills, both active and sedentary.
Porto AlegreAges 18–30 - NCT06477965Recruiting
Registry for artery embolization to treat chronic pain
This is a registry study that gathers information from people who have had an artery embolization procedure to treat long-term pain from conditions such as arthritis. The goal is to track outcomes and better understand the procedure's effectiveness.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06736795Recruiting
Online support for Achilles tendon loading exercises
This study tests whether extra support from a clinician during a progressive exercise program helps people with Achilles tendon pain improve faster. You'll do exercises that gradually increase the load on your tendon, with guidance from a physical therapist via video visits.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–60 - NCT05206838Recruiting
Treating gluteus medius tendon weakness after hip replacement
This trial looks at treating a specific hip muscle-tendon problem (gluteus medius insufficiency) after total hip replacement. It may help people who have had ongoing limping despite surgery by using an Achilles tendon–based approach.
MölndalAges 40–80 - NCT04104126Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy for an Achilles injury
This trial looks at whether “blood flow restriction” during exercise can improve healing for people with an Achilles injury. You may be asked to also do standard physical therapy, but the study focuses on the added blood-flow-restriction approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT03248284Recruiting
Study of inflammation in Achilles tendons in psoriatic arthritis
This trial studies people with psoriatic arthritis who have painful Achilles tendon insertion with signs of inflammation on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand what drives tendon inflammation and how it can be treated.
OdenseAges 18–70 - NCT07623408Recruiting
Foot Position During Achilles Tendon Pain Recovery
This study tests whether the position of your foot during exercises affects how well your Achilles tendon heals and how much pain you experience. Researchers will compare different foot positions during rehabilitation to see which works best for reducing Achilles tendon pain and improving tendon strength.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for achilles tendon?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 28 recruiting achilles tendon studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a achilles tendon trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a achilles tendon trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
