Achilles tendon rupture recovery with electrical stimulation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using electrical stimulation along with standard care helps recovery from a recent Achilles tendon rupture. It may improve healing and reduce the risk of re-rupture.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a torn Achilles tendon that happened within the last 10 days and only on one side.
- You are not taking blood thinners (like warfarin or apixaban).
- You do not have a known allergy to contrast dye (used in some imaging).
- You do not have kidney failure, heart failure with swelling, or a blood clot in the past 3 months.
- You are not pregnant, do not have cancer, and have not had surgery on this tendon before.

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 study tests whether using electrical stimulation on your healthy leg can help your injured leg's thigh muscle turn back on more quickly after ACL surgery. This might improve your recovery and reduce muscle weakness.
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 tests if strength training can improve calf muscle function in men who tore their Achilles tendon (up to 5 years ago) and had surgery. You cannot have done regular calf exercises recently or have certain health conditions.
