NCT ID NCT06697834
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether histotripsy, a focused ultrasound technique, can reduce pain in people with plantar fasciitis that has not responded to standard treatments like shock waves, orthotics, or steroid injections. Participants receive two ultrasound sessions and report their pain levels over 75 days. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach offers relief for chronic heel pain.
