Study Summary
This is a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with individuals who have chronic Achilles tendinopathy (AT). This study investigates the effects of education on outcomes (specified in hypotheses below) related to participation in an exercise program. Participants will be randomized to one of two educational programs. All participants will receive the same exercise intervention. This study will consent and randomize 66 participants, who will complete 2 in-person evaluation sessions (baseline, 8-week follow-up), 8 treatment sessions with a physical therapist (between baseline and 8-week follow-up), and 1 online evaluation sessions (12-week follow-up). We hypothesize that 1) a biopsychosocial approach to education will decrease pain (NPRS) and disability (PROMIS physical function) more than the standard of care for patients with AT, 2) exercise will improve all three pain mechanisms examined in this RCT (increased PPT, decreased kinesiophobia, increased number of heel raises).
Primary Outcome
Participants will rate pain using the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS, 11-pt scale from 0 to 10 as worst pain imaginable) during 3 single limb heel raises
Interventions
- OTHER Pain Education and Exercise
- OTHER Standard Education and Exercise
