Study for heel pain from plantar fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can consent to the study
- You have heel pain you can feel by pressing along the plantar fascia (on the bottom of the foot), with or without a heel bone spur on X-ray
- You are able to participate if you have diabetes or vascular disease, as long as you do not have nerve damage (neuropathy) or severe circulation symptoms like rest pain or walking-limiting pain
- You have no signs on X-ray of a stress fracture, foreign body, or tumor in the heel
- You are not pregnant, and you have no known allergy to the injection ingredients
- You have not had plantar fascia rupture or plantar fascia surgery in the last 5 years, and you do not have active or prior bone infection in the heel

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a surgery to cut and realign the heel bone (calcaneal osteotomy) for people whose plantar fasciitis hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to relieve long-term heel pain by changing how the foot handles weight.
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.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called embolization to reduce heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. It blocks tiny blood vessels in the painful area, which may relieve pain and help you walk more comfortably.
This study compares two treatments for long-term heel pain from plantar fasciitis: a new needle procedure that uses gentle heat (radiofrequency) versus a steroid injection guided by ultrasound. The goal is to find which treatment provides better pain relief.
This study tests if injections can help reduce pain from plantar fasciitis in people aged 18 to 50 who have had symptoms for at least 6 weeks. It will compare how well the treatment works and if it helps you get back to daily activities.
This study compares two treatments for chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciopathy (inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot). If you have a heel spur, you may receive either a steroid injection or a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (which uses heat to calm the pain). The study will also use ultrasound to see how the tissue changes.
