Collagen device plus physiotherapy for Achilles tendon pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 70 years old
- Your Achilles tendon pain has been going on for 24 weeks or less
- A doctor has diagnosed Achilles tendinopathy, and an ultrasound confirms the type
- Your pain is fairly strong (VAS score of 5 or higher)
- Your questionnaire scores fall in the study’s target range (VISA-A score 50 to 75)
- You can understand, answer, and sign consent for study forms

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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.
This study tests whether OSTENIL TENDON, a gel-like substance injected into the tendon, can safely reduce pain and improve movement in people with common tendon problems (like jumper's knee or tennis elbow). It may be a good option if other treatments haven't worked for you.
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.
This trial compares two surgical techniques to repair the Achilles tendon where it attaches to the heel bone. It aims to find which method gives better relief for people with long-standing Achilles tendon pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This trial studies a device (TenJet hydroresection) used to treat long-lasting tendon pain by targeting damaged tendon tissue. It may help people whose tendon pain has not improved after several months of non-surgical care.
