Condition: Tendinopathy · Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy · Achilles Tendinopathy · Sponsor: Guna S.p.a
Achilles tendinopathy is a condition characterized by inflammation of the Achilles tendon. Achilles tendinopathies are classified into insertional tendinitis and noninsertional tendinitis. Insertional tendinitis involves the lower part of the tendon, where the tendon inserts at the level of the calcaneus, and can affect even patients who are not particularly athletically active. Noninsertional tendinitis occurs when the fibers in the middle portion of the tendon are affected, affects young and athletic people the most, and has a high incidence (30-50%) in middle-aged individuals. Considering that there are no strong evidence-based guidelines in the area of treatment of achilles tendinopathy, the aim of this research project is to understand through a multicenter, randomized clinical investigation the impact of treatment with a porcine collagen-based medical device administered in the peri-tendon area in combination with physiotherapy on pain reduction and functional improvement of the investigated tendon.
