- TB-500 (2.5mg 2×/week)
- VEGF upregulation, actin regulation, collagen deposition
- 6–8 weeks with concurrent eccentric loading
- Data insufficient. Anecdotal reports suggest 15–25%
- Strongest option for acute injuries when paired with rehab; limited benefit in chronic degeneration without additional intervention
- Eccentric Loading (Wrist Extension)
- Mechanical stress signals collagen realignment and fibroblast activation
- 8–12 weeks (systematic review data)
- 20–30% at 12 months
- Gold standard rehab protocol; works synergistically with TB-500
- Corticosteroid Injection
- Temporary suppression of inflammatory cytokines
- 2–6 weeks (symptom relief only, not tissue repair)
- 50–70% within 6 months
- Rapid symptom relief but high recurrence; does not address underlying tendon pathology
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Growth factor delivery to injury site
- 8–16 weeks
- 10–20% at 12 months
- Evidence mixed; most effective in chronic cases where TB-500 alone underperforms
- Rest + NSAIDs
- Inflammation suppression, passive healing
- 12–24 weeks
- 40–60% within 12 months
- Slowest recovery; does not address mechanical loading requirement
