Summary

Achilles enthesopathy is a common and often long-lasting injury among exercising individuals. Very little is known regarding the effect of different treatment strategies.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate two treatment strategies for achilles enthesopathy: Resistance training and restricted loading + corticosteroid injection compared to resistance training and restricted loading + local anesthesia injection.

50 patients with achilles enthesopathy are randomly assigned to the two treatment groups in this double blinded RCT.

Conditions

  • Achilles Entesopathy

Interventions

DRUG

Corticosteroid injection

Corticosteroid injections are administered ultrasound guided in the bursa adjacent to the achilles tendon insertion every 4 weeks until symptoms resolve with at maximum of 3 injections.

DRUG

Local anesthesia injections

Local anesthesia injections are administered ultrasound guided in the bursa adjacent to the achilles tendon insertion every 4 weeks until symptoms resolve with at maximum of 3 injections.
