Recruiting studies
- NCT03968614Recruiting
Needling plus exercises for Achilles tendon pain
This trial studies whether electrical “deep needling” (a clinician inserts very thin needles and uses electricity) added to stretching and exercises can reduce Achilles tendon pain. It’s mainly for people with Achilles tendinopathy that started at least 3 months ago.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07642583Enrolling by invitation
Dry Needling and Exercise for Achilles Tendon Pain
This study tests whether a combination of dry needling (a technique using thin needles) plus exercise can relieve pain in the Achilles tendon (the cord at the back of your heel). If you have ongoing Achilles pain, this trial might help you find relief and return to activities like running or walking.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT06374654Enrolling by invitation
Home vs. formal physical therapy for new Achilles tendon pain
This study compares doing a home exercise program with going to formal physical therapy for people who have recently developed pain in the middle of the Achilles tendon (the thick cord in the back of the ankle). The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05301959Recruiting
Electrolysis treatment for Achilles tendon pain
This trial studies whether percutaneous electrolysis can improve long-lasting Achilles tendon pain. It compares the treatment against a placebo and aims to reduce pain and symptoms in people with MRI-proven tendinopathy.
Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires F.D.Ages 18–65 - NCT05464498Recruiting
Collagen device plus physiotherapy for Achilles tendon pain
This trial tests a collagen-based medical device used along with physical therapy to see if it helps people with Achilles tendon pain heal and improve function. You may be a good candidate if your symptoms are recent and the tendon problem is confirmed by ultrasound.
Roma, ROAges 18–70 - NCT07650396RecruitingPhase 3
Steroid Injections for Long-Term Achilles Tendon Pain
This study tests whether steroid injections can help people with chronic Achilles tendon pain (the tendon at the back of your heel) who haven't improved with physical therapy and exercise. The injection is designed to reduce inflammation and pain in the middle part of the tendon.
RotterdamAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07714811Recruiting
Hyaluronic acid vs PRP for chronic tendon pain
This study compares two treatments—hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP, made from your own blood)—for chronic tendon pain. You may be a good fit if you have had pain in your Achilles tendon or golfer's elbow for more than 3 months and are looking for a non-surgical option.
Lublin, Lublin VoivodeshipAges 18–65 - 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for insertional achilles tendinopathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 9 recruiting insertional achilles tendinopathy 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 insertional achilles tendinopathy 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 insertional achilles tendinopathy 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.
