All recruiting trials (6)
-
Corticosteroid injections added to standard care for chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy
This trial tests whether 1–3 ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injections added to standard care help adults with long-standing midportion Achilles tendinopathy more than placebo injections plus standard care.
-
Foot position during Achilles tendinopathy rehab
This trial tests whether doing a 12-week load-based exercise with a toes-out foot position helps the Achilles better heal and function compared with a neutral foot position in adults with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy.
-
Platelet-rich plasma treatment for patellar, Achilles, elbow (epicondylitis), and plantar heel tendinopathies.
This multicenter observational project will try platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections to see if they reduce pain and improve function in adults with chronic patellar, Achilles, lateral elbow (epicondylitis), or plantar heel (fasciitis) tendinopathies.
-
ATOR screening scores over 12 weeks in senior runners with Achilles tendinopathy
We will test whether adding analytical stretching to an Alfredson exercise program plus health education improves ATOR screening scores over 12 weeks in senior club runners with Achilles tendinopathy.
-
Minimally invasive artery embolization for chronic Achilles tendon pain
This trial will try injecting a temporary Lipiodol emulsion into blood vessels feeding the Achilles tendon to reduce chronic tendon pain in adults 25 to 80 who haven't improved after conservative treatment.
-
Immediate neuromuscular electrical stimulation for Achilles tendon pain and function
Researchers will try two types of neuromuscular electrical stimulation to see if they immediately reduce pain and improve heel-rise performance in people with Achilles tendinopathy or a past Achilles tendon rupture.

How many Achilles Tendinopathy (AT) clinical trials are recruiting right now?
6, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 5 countries. The most sites are in Spain (2 trials), United States (1 trial), Netherlands (1 trial), Brazil (1 trial), Belgium (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 1: 1, Phase 3: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
