Summary

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 if this non-invasive approach offers a safe way to manage stubborn heel pain.

If it works, this could offer a non-invasive pain relief option for people with neuropathy who also have plantar fasciitis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (114 people) that hasn't started yet. The treatment may not work better than a sham procedure, and results may not apply to everyone with neuropathy.
