NCT07436923
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of planter displacement calcaneal osteotomy for intractable plantar fasciosis by decreasing the tension of the plantar fascia around the calcaneal attachment while keeping the plantar fascia intact.
NCT05622279
There are various treatments for plantar fasciitis, including physical therapy, orthopedic inserts or steroid infiltrations. However, it is estimated that about 20% of patients do not respond to first-line treatment \[Rompe, Sports Med Arthrosc Rev, 2009\]. It is therefore necessary to be able to integrate new treatments into the management of this condition. The objective of the study is to assess the effect on pain and the safety of the percutaneous ultrasound-guided tenotomy associated with a platelet rich plasma injection to treat refractory plantar fasciitis.
NCT07078539
This study will compare the effects of Kaltenborn and Mulligan ankle mobilization techniques, combined with intrinsic foot muscle strengthening, on pain, functional status, and dorsiflexion range of motion in patients with plantar fasciitis. Eighty-two participants with chronic heel pain will be randomly allocated into two groups. Both groups will receive standard care including ultrasound therapy, stretching, and cryotherapy, while Group A will receive Kaltenborn mobilization and Group B will receive Mulligan mobilization. Pain, function, and ankle range of motion will be assessed at baseline and after three weeks of treatment.
NCT07037290
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain due to overuse or repetitive stress on the plantar fascia. Risk factors include abnormal foot structure, obesity, and poor footwear. Physiotherapy interventions like foot core exercises and ankle proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are gaining attention for improving pain and foot function.
NCT05218785
This prospective clinical cohort study will follow 40 patients who recieve botulinum toxin A treatment for proximal medial gastrocnemius tightness with subsequent Chronic Plantar Fasciitis for two years. Three injections of botulinum toxin (75IU) will be administered with intervals of three months. Participants will be followed at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years with Patient Related Outcome Measures (PROMS) and physical test (Ergotest and ankle dorsiflexion).
NCT06706531
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of dry needling with conventional physical therapy versus conventional physical therapy on gait parameters in plantar fasciitis: a randomized control trial.
NCT06686706
The Objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of Instrumental Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and Kinesio taping for improving foot functional status and Quality of Life (QOL) in patients with Plantar Fasciitis. The study will be randomized controlled Trial including 2 experimental groups and 19 participants in each group
NCT06685172
This study aimed to compare the acute effects of focused and radial ESWT on pain and balance performance in individuals with plantar fasciitis.
NCT06377800
The significance of studying the effects of navicular mobilization in patients suffering from plantar fasciitis lies in its potential to provide valuable insights into non-invasive treatment approaches for a common and debilitating foot condition such as flat foot. Understanding how this therapy impacts navicular height, pain and disability of the foot can lead to improved clinical outcomes and a better understanding of the biomechanical factors contributing to plantar fasciitis. Ultimately, this research may help refine treatment strategies and enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from this condition
NCT06446167
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise combined with ESWT (Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy), exercise combined with MLS (Multiwave Locked System) laser therapy, and exercise alone in female patients diagnosed with unilateral plantar fasciitis, using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Heel Tenderness Index (HTI), Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), Foot Function Index (FFI) and fall risk, as clinical parameters to assess any differences in effectiveness levels among these treatments.
NCT05775302
Aim of this study is to compare the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon on pain,range of motion and foot disability.A randomized control trial that will include total 32 participants and divided into two groups.Patients in Group A will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization of gastrocnemius and Group B will receive instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization of Achilles tendon. While conventional therapy will be given to both groups.Data collected will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
NCT05867888
Both shock wave therapy and low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis are effective in improvement of such cases without any side effects but there are no previously published studies on the use of shock wave therapy versus low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis and, hence, evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness compared with each other remains to be established.
NCT05589285
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of whole blood injection as a safe and effective method of treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis. The hypothesis is that Autologous whole blood (AWB) injection is more effective than sham injections in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. Participants will receive an autologous whole blood injection over the plantar fascia, and will be followed up to study the response. Researchers will compare the effects with a control group who will receive normal saline injection.
NCT05856019
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of j stroke myofascial release on planter fascia versus ischemic release on gastrocnemius in patients with planter fasciitis.
NCT05826301
The aim of the present study will be the implementation of two protocols in plantar fasciitis individuals: a) percutaneous neuromodulation, b) percutaneous electrolysis in plantar fascia. Authors hypothesized that percutaneous neuromodulation may have benefits in: pain, quality of life, muscular structure.
NCT05915091
Effectiveness Comparative Effects of Dry Needling and Cross Friction Massage on Patients With Plantar Fascitis
NCT05066919
The purpose of the study is to examine whether patients with heel spurs for more than 6 months, who have been treated conservatively, have better effect of surgery than further conservative treatment. The study is performed as a randomized trial with the inclusion of 32 patients divided between open plantar fasciectomy and conservative treatment. The primary endpoint is Self-Reported-Foot-And-Ankle Score (SEFAS-score) after 24 months. Secondary endpoints includes: Pain (Visual analogue score) at first step, rest and activity after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, SEFAS-score after 3, 6 og 12 months, changes in gait after 6 months (measured with gait-analysis). All endpoints are measured at inclusion. The power calculation is based on the assumption that surgical treatment gives an improvement in SEFAS-score of 10 points (SD 7.9) after 24 months when compared to conservative treatment together with an alpha-value of 5 % and a beta value of 90 %.
NCT05071365
This proof of concept and feasibility study will adopt a mixed methods approach. The primary objectives will be to assess participants' acceptance and usability of a package of self-help videos for Plantar Fasciitis designed to be accessed shortly after suitable participants are referred to the podiatry service, and also the feasibility of conducting a future randomised controlled trial. The secondary objectives will be to assess the effects of the intervention on pain and quality of life.
NCT05576376
The aim of this study is to clarify the efficacy of plantar displacement calcaneal osteotomy for intractable plantar fasciitis by decreasing the tension of the plantar fascia around the calcaneal attachment while keeping the plantar fascia intact and comparing it with the plantar fascia release in pain control, job return and foot arch preservation.
NCT05479526
The primary aim of the study is to determine whether deviations from normal in the myofascial structure have an effect on the development of plantar fasciitis by evaluating the myofascial chain lines as well as the general evaluation parameters in patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. The secondary aim of the study is to create a future clinical projection regarding the applications to be made over the myofascial chain in addition to the generally accepted treatment protocols in the light of the findings.
