Botulinum toxin for calf tightness and long-term heel pain
This trial tests whether injections of botulinum toxin A can loosen a tight calf muscle and improve long-lasting plantar fasciitis (heel/foot pain). It’s for people whose symptoms have lasted at least a year and who haven’t improved enough with physical therapy.
Oslo, OsloAges 18–75 - NCT06284993Recruiting
Acupuncture for chronic heel pain: testing different schedules
This study tests whether acupuncture given at different frequencies (how often you get it) can help relieve chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It may help you if you've had persistent pain for at least 6 months and have not tried certain recent treatments.
BeijingAges 18–75 - NCT07688876Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for long-term heel pain
This trial tests two minimally invasive procedures—pulsed radiofrequency and a dextrose injection—to see which better relieves chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
AnkaraAges 18–70 - NCT07242729Recruiting
Compare two treatments for chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis
This study compares two treatments—bone marrow aspirate and platelet-rich fibrin—to see which works better for long-lasting heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. It may help if your pain has not improved with standard treatments like stretching or physical therapy.
São PauloAges 18–75 - NCT07294196Recruiting
Needle therapy for chronic foot pain in adults
This trial tests a new treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain) using very thin needles that deliver a mild electrical current to the muscles and fascia. It may help people who have had heel pain for at least 6 weeks and haven't tried other treatments.
Sivas, MerkezAges 18–70 - NCT07383558Recruiting
Adding nerve treatment for chronic heel pain
This trial tests if adding a nerve treatment (pulsed radiofrequency of the sural nerve) to standard care helps people with long-lasting heel pain. It may reduce pain and improve function.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07395128RecruitingPhase 1
Artery Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis
This study tests a new, minimally invasive procedure to treat stubborn heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Small particles are injected into a specific artery in the foot to reduce blood flow and inflammation, which may relieve pain without surgery.
Libertyville, IllinoisAges 25–80 - NCT02196155Recruiting
Botox or steroid shots for long-term heel pain
This trial compares botulinum toxin A (“Botox”) to steroid injections for chronic plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel and foot pain. It aims to see which shot helps symptoms better when other treatments haven’t worked for at least 3 months.

Understanding Tests for Chronic Heel Pain
This study evaluates the best ways to diagnose and measure chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis) in patients considering surgery. By comparing patients with long-lasting heel pain to those without foot problems, researchers aim to improve how doctors identify and assess this condition.
Bologna, BOAges 18–18 - NCT07600229Recruiting
Barefoot Walking vs. Standard Care for Heel Pain
This study compares barefoot walking to standard conservative care (like stretching and supportive shoes) for plantar fasciitis—a common cause of heel pain. Researchers want to see if walking barefoot helps reduce pain and improve function in people with persistent heel discomfort.
Carlow, Carlow CountyAges 18–70 - NCT07640620Recruiting
How nerve sensitivity relates to heel pain
This study looks at whether people with plantar fasciitis (painful heel condition) have heightened nerve sensitivity, and how this connects to their symptoms. Researchers will compare your pain patterns and nerve responses to those of healthy volunteers to better understand what drives heel pain.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07070245Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two therapies for plantar fasciitis pain
This study compares two hands-on treatments for plantar fasciitis: a technique using tools to massage the tissue and a method that involves holding the foot in a specific position. It aims to see which better reduces heel pain and improves movement.
