OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding USGET to conventional eccentric exercise treatment in patients with chronic AT. METHODS: Inclusion criteria were patients with unilateral non-insertional AT, pain lasting &gt; 3\u00a0months, aged 25\u201360\u00a0years. Patients were randomised in two groups receiving the same physiotherapy treatment (2\u00a0sessions per week for 8\u00a0weeks). In addition, the experimental group received three USGET stimulations, one every 15\u00a0days. Outcome measures were assessment of Achilles tendinopathy severity using the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A) and pain intensity using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Assessment points occurred at the onset of treatment (T0), its conclusion (T1), and subsequent follow-ups at one (T2) and two months (T3). RESULTS: Out of the 52 patients who met the study inclusion criteria, two participants withdrew from the study, resulting in a total of 50 subjects who completed the research. None of the parameters showed a different distribution at T1 (p&gt; 0.337). At T2, there was a statistical difference in VISA-A (p= 0.010) and its subscales and VAS (p= 0.002) in the USGET group. At T3, both groups improved with a statistical difference observed in VISA-A (p&lt; 0.001) and its subscales Pain (p= 0.004), Function (p= 0.003) and Sport (p= 0.002), but the EG patients showed a greater improvement. No adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION: The effect of USGET combined with eccentric exercise appears to be a safe and effective technique for achieving pain relief and functional recovery in the medium term, supporting the integrated use of USGET as a rehabilitative treatment option for patients with chronic AT.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/bmr-230255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,22]],"date-time":"2024-03-22T11:56:36Z","timestamp":1711108596000},"page":"1177-1188","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Efficacy of ultrasound-guided galvanic electrolysis technique and physical therapy in patients with Achilles\u2019 tendinopathy: A pilot randomised controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Marco","family":"Di Ges\u00f9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Center Mya Salute, Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Alito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical, Dental Sciences and Morphological and Functional Images, University of Messina, Messina, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Borzelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical, Dental Sciences and Morphological and Functional Images, University of Messina, Messina, Italy"},{"name":"Laboratory of Neuromotor Physiology, IRCCS Santa Lucia Foundation, Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Domenico","family":"Romeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiocare: Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Center, Augusta, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabio","family":"Bonomolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Center Mya Salute, Palermo, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dario","family":"Calafiore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosciences, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Unit, ASST Carlo Poma, Mantova, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessandro","family":"de Sire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Physical and Rehabilitative Medicine, University of Catanzaro \u201cMagna Graecia\u201d, Catanzaro, Italy"},{"name":"Research Center on Musculoskeletal Health, MusculoSkeletalHealth@UMG, University of Catanzaro \u201cMagna Graecia\u201d, Catanzaro, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/BMR-230255_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1080\/15438627.2017.1393748","article-title":"Investigating Achilles and patellar tendinopathy prevalence in elite athletics","volume":"26","author":"Janssen","year":"2018","journal-title":"Res Sports Med"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/BMR-230255_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"149","DOI":"10.1186\/s40798-022-00545-5","article-title":"Evidence-based high-loading tendon exercise for 12\u00a0weeks leads to increased tendon stiffness and cross-sectional area in achilles tendinopathy: A controlled clinical trial","volume":"8","author":"Radovanovic","year":"2022","journal-title":"Sports Med Open"},{"key":"10.3233\/BMR-230255_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chen W, Cloosterman KLA, Bierma-Zeinstra SMA, van Middelkoop M, de Vos RJ.
