- NCT07567807Recruiting
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 - NCT07571122Recruiting
Brain Training to Help Heel Pain and Balance
This study tests whether cognitive training (exercises that challenge your thinking and memory) combined with physical exercises can reduce heel pain, improve balance, and strengthen foot function in people with plantar fasciitis. The goal is to see if training your brain alongside your body helps more than physical therapy alone.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT05218785Recruiting
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 - 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 - NCT03231150Recruiting
Study for heel pain from plantar fasciitis
This trial studies treatments for ongoing heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis (pain in the band on the bottom of your foot). If you qualify, you may receive an injection treatment and be compared with a control group to see what works best.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706531Recruiting
Dry needling plus physical therapy for plantar fasciitis
This study tests whether adding dry needling (a technique using thin needles to release muscle knots) to standard physical therapy works better than physical therapy alone for treating long-term heel pain known as plantar fasciitis.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–35 - NCT06534866Recruiting
Kinesio tape plus therapy for plantar fasciitis
This study tests whether adding kinesio tape (a stretchy therapeutic tape) to standard physical therapy can reduce heel pain, improve ankle motion, and help you walk better. It is for people with plantar fasciitis who haven't had recent injections or surgery.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT06536803Recruiting
Strength training with or without stretching for plantar fasciitis
This study tests whether adding specific stretches for the plantar fascia to high-load strength training helps male athletes with plantar fasciitis feel better. It compares strength training alone to strength training plus targeted stretching.
Mirpur MatheloAges 20–35 - NCT05584046Recruiting
Herbal patch for heel pain
This trial tests a new herbal patch for treating heel pain (plantar fasciitis). The patch is applied to the skin, and the study aims to see if it helps reduce pain.
ShatinAges 18–70 - NCT06969820Recruiting
Low-dose radiation for heel pain with plantar fasciitis
This study tests whether low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) can help people with long-term heel pain from plantar fasciitis and a heel spur. It uses imaging and checkups to measure how well the treatment works.
Erlangen, BavariaAges 40 years+ - NCT05216679Recruiting
Stretching device versus night splints for plantar fasciitis
This trial compares a new at-home stretching device to standard night splints for plantar fasciitis (heel pain from inflammation). It may help find which approach works better and is easier or safer to use.
Carterville, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06637592Recruiting
Taping for heel pain in football players
This study compares two types of foot taping (windlass and calcaneal) to see which better relieves heel pain in football players with plantar fasciitis. It aims to help players return to sport more quickly.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06967168Recruiting
Heel pain treatment options feasibility study
This study tests different ways to treat heel pain using self-help resources like exercise guides or videos. It aims to find out what works best for people with heel pain.
Cardiff, WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07231471Recruiting
Platelet-rich plasma for muscle and joint pain
This study tests whether an injection of your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help heal muscle, tendon, or joint problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments like physical therapy or medications.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT07558564Recruiting
Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Chronic Tendon Pain
This trial tests whether an injection of concentrated platelets from your own blood can help heal chronic tendon injuries that haven't improved with other treatments. Platelets contain natural healing factors that may reduce pain and improve function.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for plantar fasciitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 39 recruiting plantar fasciitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a plantar fasciitis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a plantar fasciitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
