PLANTAR FASCIITIS

This study looks at whether having more sessions of shock wave therapy (ESWT) helps people with long-term heel pain (plantar fasciitis) feel better and move easier. About 57 adults with pain lasting at least 3 months will be split into groups getting different numbers of ESWT ses…

This study tests if a specific acupuncture point on the hand can safely reduce heel pain and improve walking. Researchers will treat 150 adults aged 40-70 who have had heel pain for less than two months. The main goal is to see if at least half of participants get significant pai…

This study tests whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with peripheral neuropathy who also have plantar fasciitis (heel pain). About 114 adults will receive either real or sham shockwave treatment. The goal is to see …

This study tests two non-invasive treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. 28 adults will receive either high-intensity laser therapy or focused shock wave therapy, plus exercises. Researchers will measure pain and foot function over 12 weeks to see which wo…

This study tests which injection therapy—platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or prolotherapy—works better for people with plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with usual treatments like rest or stretching. About 68 adults will receive one type of injection, and researchers will measure …

This study compares two treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. One treatment, prolotherapy, involves injecting a sugar solution to help the tissue heal. The other, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), uses sound waves to stimulate healing. The study w…

This pilot study will test whether nerve gliding exercises (neural mobilization) can reduce pain and improve foot function in people with plantar fasciitis. Twelve adults aged 19 to 40 will be randomly assigned to either nerve gliding or standard physiotherapy for three weeks. Re…
