NCT ID NCT07395128
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study tests a minimally invasive procedure for chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis. Doctors use a small tube to inject a temporary blocking agent into foot blood vessels. Ten adults aged 25-80 who haven't found relief from other treatments will be followed for a year to see if pain decreases and if the procedure is safe.
