High-volume injections show no significant benefit for Achilles tendinopathy
A randomized trial tested high-volume injections for Achilles tendinopathy.
The condition affects the Achilles tendon and can cause pain and disability.
The trial included 192 patients assigned to three groups.
One group received high-volume injections, while another received sham injections.
The injections showed no significant benefit over the sham treatment for pain or disability.
This means the trial did not demonstrate that the injections improve these problems.
The available information does not say what treatment the patients received next.
