Timing of pain, stiffness, and function in plantar fasciitis after muscle release
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a hands-on therapy called myofascial release can help with morning pain, stiffness, and walking in people with plantar fasciitis. It aims to see how these symptoms change over time after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if a technique called Primal Reflex Release can reduce heel pain and improve daily function in people with plantar fasciitis. It's designed for adults who have had bottom-of-the-foot pain for at least 3 months.
This study compares two hands-on treatments for plantar fasciitis: a technique using tools to massage the tissue and a method that involves holding the foot in a specific position. It aims to see which better reduces heel pain and improves movement.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for long-term plantar fasciitis (heel pain). It tests if a technique called 'INIT' works better than another called 'IASTM' to reduce morning heel pain and improve walking.
This trial tests if adding special foot-strengthening and balance exercises to standard physical therapy can better reduce pain and improve walking in people with plantar fasciitis. It may help if you have had heel pain for at least three months that is worst when you take your first steps in the morning.
