| Popis: | BACKGROUND High volume injection (HVI) shows promising results in the treatment of chronic midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT). HVI consists of a large volume of saline with a small amount of corticosteroid and local anesthetic. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of corticosteroid in HVI in AT. METHODS A total of 28 men (18-59 years) with chronic (>3 months) AT were included in a double-blinded RCT and followed for 24 weeks. All performed eccentric training and randomized to either (a) HVI injection with corticosteroid or (b) HVI injection without corticosteroid. Outcomes included self-reported function (VISA-A score) and pain (VAS score) and ultrasound imaging (tendon thickness, Doppler flow). RESULTS VISA-A and VAS score improved in both groups at all time-points (P |
