Stretching device versus night splints for plantar fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.

This study compares two non-surgical treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. One uses deep friction massage and the other uses a special scraping tool. Both aim to reduce pain and improve function.
This study looks at how often people with long-lasting heel pain (plantar fasciitis) also have tight calf muscles. It will test whether a gentle stretching program that lengthens the calf muscle can reduce the heel pain.
This study looks at how foot measurements relate to plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. It may help understand why some people get this condition.
This study compares how different walking surfaces affect foot muscle activity in people with plantar fasciitis and in healthy adults. It’s aimed at better understanding what changes happen in the foot and how terrain might influence symptoms and muscle function.
This study tests whether adding specific foot exercises and balance training to standard physical therapy helps reduce pain, improve function, and change how pressure is distributed on your feet. It may be a good option if you have had plantar fasciitis for at least three months.
This study compares using ice packs or cold baths along with standard exercises to treat plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. It aims to see which method works better for reducing pain and improving function.
