Electrical stimulation for recent Achilles tendon rupture
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding electrical stimulation to standard care helps people recover from a recent Achilles tendon rupture. It may improve healing and strength after the injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a recent Achilles tendon rupture (within 10 days of injury).
- You cannot be taking blood thinners or high doses of aspirin.
- You cannot have kidney failure, heart failure with leg swelling, or a history of blood clots in the last 3 months.
- You cannot have had surgery on that tendon before.
- You must be able to follow instructions and give consent.

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 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.
This trial tests if adding electrical stimulation to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength and movement after ACL reconstruction surgery. It compares two rehab programs starting within days after surgery.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device placed on the skin around the ankle can help recovery after ankle fracture surgery. It may reduce pain, swelling, and healing time.
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 gently stimulating the muscle on your healthy leg can help your thigh muscle 'wake up' and work better after ACL surgery. The therapy uses small electrical pulses to retrain the muscles.
