A pre-made shoe insert for treating heel pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.

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.
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.
This trial tests two simple treatments for heel pain (plantar fasciitis): an arch support and a special tape that stretches the tight band under your foot. It compares which one works better for recent or ongoing pain in just one foot.
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 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.
