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 different body measurements change after an intensive muscle-building training season, and how those changes relate to improved performance in a middle-distance race. You might be a good match if you’re a 40–60-year-old male athlete in the specific training program and can safely complete all required tests.
This study looks at how calf muscles heal after a 'tennis leg' injury (a tear in the calf muscle), focusing on remaining weakness and scar tissue formation. It may help understand recovery and guide better rehabilitation.
This study tests which treatment works best for acute hamstring or calf muscle injuries in active adults. You would get an ultrasound-guided injection and follow-up care to help your muscle heal faster.
This study compares two types of leg exercises to see which is better for preventing hamstring injuries in athletes. You'll be asked to do specific workouts over several weeks.
