Artery Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new, minimally invasive procedure to treat stubborn heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis. Small particles are injected into a specific artery in the foot to reduce blood flow and inflammation, which may relieve pain without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 looks at how a steroid injection affects pain and the thickness of the tissue in the foot for people with plantar fasciitis. It may help doctors understand if the injection reduces pain and inflammation in the heel.
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 trial tests a minimally invasive treatment for chronic Achilles tendon pain that hasn't improved with at least 3 months of rest, therapy, or other non-surgical care. It aims to help people who want to avoid surgery.
