Summary

This study tested two ways of using high-intensity laser therapy to relieve pain from plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. 24 adults with the condition received either a static (pointed) or scanning (sweeping) laser application. Researchers measured pain levels and fascia thickness to see which method worked better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
High-intensity laser therapy (HILT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point to a better way to use lasers to reduce foot pain without drugs or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 24 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be modest or no different between the two laser modes.
