Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06868147Recruiting
Long-term results of a second ACL reconstruction using a tendon graft
This study looks at people who had a second surgery to fix a torn ACL in their knee. The surgery used a special technique with a tendon from the Achilles. Researchers want to see how well the knee works and looks on X-rays at least 2 years after that surgery.
BolognaAges 18–50 - NCT06780202RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid to reduce opioid use after foot/ankle surgery
This study tests whether a steroid medicine called Medrol Dosepak can help reduce the need for opioid painkillers after foot or ankle surgery. If you are having foot or ankle surgery at Emory and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–95 - NCT06100822RecruitingPhase 1
Testing metformin for chronic Achilles tendon pain
This study tests whether a common diabetes medication, metformin, can help people with chronic Achilles tendon pain. If you have this condition and meet certain health requirements, you may be able to join.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–50

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for achilles tendon surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting achilles tendon surgery 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 surgery 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 surgery 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.
