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.
This study looks at how well shock wave therapy works for people with plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments. If you've already had shock wave therapy 3 to 6 months ago, your experience could help doctors understand what makes the treatment effective.
This trial compares two ways of giving shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis—one on the sore foot and one on the back of the leg. It aims to find which method works better to relieve heel pain.
This study compares two treatments for plantar fasciitis—shockwave therapy and a type of deep massage. The goal is to see which works better for reducing foot pain.
This study tests whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)—sound waves directed at your heel—can relieve plantar fasciitis pain. You'll receive this non-surgical treatment and be monitored to see if it reduces your heel pain and improves walking.
