Electrolysis treatment for chronic heel pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called electrolysis (using a tiny needle and electrical current) for people with long-lasting heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It may help reduce pain and improve function if you have had heel pain for more than 3 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain) using very thin needles that deliver a mild electrical current to the muscles and fascia. It may help people who have had heel pain for at least 6 weeks and haven't tried other treatments.
This study tests a treatment called shockwave therapy (sound waves) for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, specifically for people who also have nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). The treatment may help reduce pain and improve function without surgery.
This study tests a treatment called shock wave therapy (using sound waves) to see if it helps relieve pain from plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. It is a non-invasive option that may help people who have had pain for a while.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for heel pain that hasn't improved with usual care: a procedure that uses heat on a nerve in the foot, and platelet-rich plasma (your own blood cells) injections. It also tests whether combining both works better.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments for plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. High-intensity laser therapy and focused shockwave therapy are both used to reduce pain and improve function. The trial aims to see which treatment works better and if they can help you get back to your daily activities.
This study tests different ways to treat heel pain using self-help resources like exercise guides or videos. It aims to find out what works best for people with heel pain.
