Nitroglycerin gel with ultrasound for plantar fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gel containing nitroglycerin (a medicine that widens blood vessels) applied to the skin with ultrasound can help reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic plantar fasciitis. It is for adults between 18 and 44 years old with a healthy body weight and no other health conditions that could interfere with treatment.

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 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 trial tests two minimally invasive procedures—pulsed radiofrequency and a dextrose injection—to see which better relieves chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
This trial studies treatments for ongoing heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis (pain in the band on the bottom of your foot). If you qualify, you may receive an injection treatment and be compared with a control group to see what works best.
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 tests if injections can help reduce pain from plantar fasciitis in people aged 18 to 50 who have had symptoms for at least 6 weeks. It will compare how well the treatment works and if it helps you get back to daily activities.
