Testing outcomes after non-surgical Achilles tendon rupture care
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an acute Achilles tendon rupture and were treated without surgery at Aarhus University Hospital (AUH)
- Your non-surgical treatment started within 14 days of the injury
- You are 18 years or older
- You can understand and read Danish
- You must follow the prescribed care plan at AUH (for example, using the ROM walker as instructed)

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.
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.
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.
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.
This study looks at how well people recover 12 months after an Achilles tendon rupture that was treated without surgery, using a specific rehab program called SMART. It aims to understand your recovery and outcomes.
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.
