Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is no scientific study in the literature regarding the use of different extracorporeal shock wave therapies (ESWT) in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy. In this study, we aim to investigate both the effectiveness of ESWT and which type of ESWT can be more effective in the treatment of patellar tendinopathy.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Engaging in active sports, being 18 years or older, history of activity-related knee pain in the patellar tendon or patellar insertion, symptoms lasting longer than 8 weeks (non-acute), VISA-P score less than 80 before treatment, pain during knee loading on tendon or tendon it remains isolated in the limited part of the bone junction and does not spread to the entire patellar region (to differentiate patellar tendinopathy and patellofemoral pain).

Exclusion Criteria

* Being under the age of 18, acute knee or acute patellar tendon injury, chronic inflammatory joint diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, etc.), using immunosuppressive or corticosteroid medication in the last 6 months, previous knee surgery (in the anterior cruciate ligament or patellar tendon), knee in the last 1 month local (corticosteroid) injection, contraindications for ESWT treatment (eg pregnancy, malignancy, coagulopathy), previous ESWT treatment
