Foot Position During Achilles Tendon Pain Recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether the position of your foot during exercises affects how well your Achilles tendon heals and how much pain you experience. Researchers will compare different foot positions during rehabilitation to see which works best for reducing Achilles tendon pain and improving tendon strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether steroid injections can help people with chronic Achilles tendon pain (the tendon at the back of your heel) who haven't improved with physical therapy and exercise. The injection is designed to reduce inflammation and pain in the middle part of the tendon.
This trial compares two different exercise programs for chronic Achilles tendon pain (not at the heel attachment). It tests whether a program focusing on muscle structure works better than the standard Alfredson protocol for reducing pain during activity.
This study asks people with Achilles tendon pain why they do or don't stick with exercise treatment. Researchers want to understand what helps or prevents people from continuing their exercises so they can improve how these treatments are delivered.
This study looks at how a screening test for runners changes over 12 weeks. It is for senior runners who are members of a running club and have completed several 10-kilometer races recently.
This study tests two treatments for chronic pain in the middle of the Achilles tendon. You may qualify if you have had pain for over 3 months and have not had these treatments recently.
This trial tests if shockwave therapy helps adults with long-lasting pain in the middle or where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel. You may join if you've had pain for at least a month and haven't had shockwave or steroid shots recently.
