Needle 'Peppering' tested as new hope for stubborn heel pain

NCT ID NCT05868577

Summary

This study tested whether a different way of giving a common steroid injection could better relieve chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis. Researchers compared a 'peppering' technique, where the needle is moved around inside the tissue, against a standard single-shot injection. They measured pain levels and foot function in 41 adults over time to see if the method itself made a difference.
