On-going Research Into New Treatments
Both eccentric loading and extracorporeal shockwave therapy are currently being researched as possible treatments for tendinosis.

Other treatments for which research is on-going includes vitamin E, vitamin B6, nitric oxide, and stem cell injections.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
