Study of muscle repair changes after calf or hamstring injury
Part of Digestive system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at what is happening inside muscle tissue after calf or hamstring injuries (new, long-term, or after an Achilles tendon rupture). It may help researchers understand why injuries come back and how muscle healing could be improved.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older, and the injury is in your calf or hamstring
- You are in one of these timing groups: new strain (<14 days), chronic strain (>6 months), or Achilles rupture (>1 year)
- Your ultrasound scan shows muscle injury-related changes (not normal), including specific patterns for each group
- You do not have certain health problems (like type 1/2 diabetes, connective tissue/rheumatic disease, or organ problems)
- You are not a daily smoker and you have not used NSAIDs often in the last 3 months
- You can have medical procedures involving local anesthesia and needles (no severe needle phobia)

This study looks at how to improve healing at the muscle-tendon connection after knee reconstruction surgery. You may be able to join if you’re otherwise healthy, within a certain body-size range, and not using medicines that could change muscle or tendon healing.
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 looks at how your body responds to a season of muscle training by measuring things like muscle size before and after training. It aims to find out why some athletes improve more than others, which could help personalize training in the future.
This study tests the best way to treat acute muscle injuries in the hamstring or calf. It compares different treatment approaches to help you recover faster and get back to your sport.
This study looks at how soft tissue movement relates to physical function in people with different orthopedic conditions, including hamstring injuries, flatfoot, and elbow ligament reconstruction. It may help doctors better understand recovery and improve treatment.
This study looks at gene activity (what genes are “turned on or off”) in the lower leg in people with acute compartment syndrome after a tibia (shin bone) injury. The goal is to better understand what is happening in the body and potentially guide future treatment decisions.
