Treating Plantar Fasciitis with Special Taping and Massage
This study tests two treatments for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis: a special scraping technique (IASTM) and kinesio taping. It may help if you stand for long hours and have morning heel pain that gets better then worse with activity.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–40 - NCT05432895Recruiting
Compare moving vs fixed night splints for heel pain
This study compares two types of night splints to treat early plantar fasciitis (heel pain). It aims to see which splint type helps your symptoms and walking more after nighttime use.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT07576192Recruiting
Massage treatments for heel pain in pregnant women
This study compares two hands-on massage techniques to relieve plantar fasciitis (heel pain) in pregnant women during the second trimester. The goal is to find the most effective, safe way to reduce pain without medication.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–40 - NCT06386406Recruiting
A pre-made shoe insert for treating heel pain
This study tests a specially designed shoe insole for people with long-term heel pain from plantar fasciitis that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It aims to see if the insole can help reduce pain and improve walking comfort.
LuganoAges 18–70 - 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+ - NCT07241884Recruiting
Plantar fascia embolization with SakuraBead for heel pain
This trial tests a new treatment for plantar fasciitis using tiny beads (SakuraBead) that are injected to block abnormal blood vessels and reduce pain. It may help people with chronic heel pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
Tashkent, UzbekistanAges 18–75 - NCT07628218Recruiting
Video versus in-person exercise training for heel pain
This trial compares two ways to learn exercises for plantar fasciitis (heel pain caused by tissue strain): watching instructional videos on your own versus attending sessions with a doctor or trainer. The goal is to see which method helps reduce pain and improve walking more effectively.
BalıkesirAges 18–70 - 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 - 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 - NCT06138236RecruitingEarly Phase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for plantar fascitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting plantar fascitis 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 fascitis 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 fascitis 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.
