Steroid injection for plantar fasciitis pain and fascia thickness
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how a steroid injection affects pain and the thickness of a tissue band (fascia) in people with plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. Researchers want to understand if the injection helps reduce pain and changes the fascia thickness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are diagnosed with plantar fasciitis (heel pain from inflammation of the tissue on the bottom of your foot).
- You have received a corticosteroid (steroid) injection for your heel pain.

This trial compares botulinum toxin A (“Botox”) to steroid injections for chronic plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel and foot pain. It aims to see which shot helps symptoms better when other treatments haven’t worked for at least 3 months.
This study compares two treatments—bone marrow aspirate and platelet-rich fibrin—to see which works better for long-lasting heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. It may help if your pain has not improved with standard treatments like stretching or physical therapy.
This study tests whether a cream made with cannabidiol (CBD) can quickly and lastingly reduce heel pain from plantar fasciitis. Participants apply the cream once daily for a set period.
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 compares using ice packs or cold baths along with standard exercises to treat plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. It aims to see which method works better for reducing pain and improving function.
