Shock wave therapy for plantar fasciitis follow-up study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have plantar fasciitis that didn't get better with things like physical therapy, rest, exercises, anti-inflammatory medicine, or special shoe inserts.
- You have already received shock wave therapy (ESWT) for your condition, and it has been between 3 and 6 months since that treatment.

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.
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 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 tests whether extracorporeal shockwave therapy (a non-invasive treatment using sound waves) can relieve heel pain in people who have peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). If it works, it could offer a new treatment option for heel pain that doesn't require injections or surgery.
This study compares two treatments—high-intensity laser therapy and shock wave therapy—to see which works better for heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. If you have sharp, localized heel pain that's worse when you first get up or after resting, this trial may help find a treatment that works for you.
This trial compares two treatments for plantar fasciitis (heel pain): dextrose prolotherapy (sugar water injections) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (sound waves). Both aim to reduce pain and improve function without surgery.
