Foot shape and plantar fasciitis study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how foot measurements relate to plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain. It may help understand why some people get this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether people with plantar fasciitis (painful heel condition) have heightened nerve sensitivity, and how this connects to their symptoms. Researchers will compare your pain patterns and nerve responses to those of healthy volunteers to better understand what drives heel pain.
This study compares barefoot walking to standard conservative care (like stretching and supportive shoes) for plantar fasciitis—a common cause of heel pain. Researchers want to see if walking barefoot helps reduce pain and improve function in people with persistent heel discomfort.
This study compares how different walking surfaces affect foot muscle activity in people with plantar fasciitis and in healthy adults. It’s aimed at better understanding what changes happen in the foot and how terrain might influence symptoms and muscle function.
This study tests whether adding specific foot exercises and balance training to standard physical therapy helps reduce pain, improve function, and change how pressure is distributed on your feet. It may be a good option if you have had plantar fasciitis for at least three months.
This study compares a blood marker (CTGF) between people with chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis) and healthy controls. It aims to see if this marker can help diagnose or understand the condition.
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.
