PLANTAR FASCIITIS

This study tests whether a new calf stretching device works better than standard night splints for easing plantar fasciitis pain. One hundred adults with this condition will use one of the two devices for six weeks and report their pain levels. The goal is to see which approach p…

This study looks at whether treating an additional nerve in the foot can improve pain relief for people with chronic plantar heel pain. Researchers will compare standard pulsed radiofrequency treatment on one nerve versus treatment on two nerves. 48 adults aged 18-65 with persist…

This study compares two treatments—high-intensity laser and high-power ultrasound—for easing pain and improving movement in people with plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. About 60 adults aged 30 to 60 with heel pain for at least a month will take part. The goal is to…

This study tests two types of foot taping—Low-Dye and calcaneal taping—to see which better reduces pain and improves walking in people with plantar fasciitis. About 40 adults with heel pain for over three months will be randomly assigned to one of the two taping groups and treate…

This study tests if watching a video of exercises is as good as getting live instruction from a doctor for treating plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. About 300 adults with heel pain for at least 3 months will be randomly assigned to either a video or an in-person se…

This study tests two treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. 84 adults will receive either shockwave therapy, collagen injections, or both. The goal is to see which approach best reduces pain and improves walking.

This study tests two types of injections—bone marrow or platelet-rich fibrin—to treat chronic plantar fasciitis (long-term heel pain). About 72 adults with heel pain lasting over 6 months will receive one of the treatments under ultrasound guidance. The goal is to see which works…

This study tests if a needle-based treatment called percutaneous electrolysis can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic plantar fasciitis (long-term heel pain). Half of the 50 participants will get the treatment on the heel only, while the other half will get it…

This early-stage study tests a procedure called lateral plantar artery embolization for people with long-lasting heel pain from plantar fasciitis. The goal is to see if blocking certain blood vessels with a temporary agent can safely reduce pain. Ten adults aged 25 to 80 who have…

This study looks at whether walking barefoot can ease heel pain (plantar fasciopathy) better than standard stretching and strengthening exercises. Adults aged 18 to 70 with heel pain will be randomly assigned to either a 12-week barefoot walking program or a stretching program. T…

This study looks at whether changes in how the nervous system processes pain (called central sensitization) play a role in plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. Researchers will measure pain sensitivity, psychological factors like anxiety, and ultrasound images of the f…
