Nerve sliding techniques for plantar fasciitis relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial compares different nerve-sliding exercises to help with plantar fasciitis (pain in the bottom of your heel). It may be a good option if you have had heel pain for six weeks or more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old
- You have had pain in the bottom of your heel for at least 6 weeks
- You are comfortable trying nerve-mobilization exercises (gentle movements to help nerves slide freely)

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 tests a supervised exercise program that combines balance (proprioception) and strengthening exercises to relieve chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It may help improve foot function and reduce pain.
This study compares a special nerve-moving technique (neural mobilization) with standard physical therapy exercises to see which works better for reducing heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It is for adults aged 19–40 who have typical morning first-step pain.
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 if adding special foot-strengthening and balance exercises to standard physical therapy can better reduce pain and improve walking in people with plantar fasciitis. It may help if you have had heel pain for at least three months that is worst when you take your first steps in the morning.
This study compares two gentle hand-on techniques (Kaltenborn and Mulligan) combined with foot-strengthening exercises to relieve heel pain from plantar fasciitis. It could help if you have morning heel pain that gets better after walking a bit.
