Textured insoles for foot function in plantar fasciopathy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether textured shoe insoles can improve foot function and reduce pain in people with long-standing plantar fasciopathy (a common cause of heel pain). You may join if your condition has lasted at least 3 months and you can walk for 20 minutes, but you must be otherwise healthy without recent leg injuries or other balance issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This study tests if textured shoe insoles can improve balance, walking, and knee comfort for older adults with knee osteoarthritis. You will be asked to walk and perform simple physical tests while wearing the insoles.
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 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 compares a non-surgical therapy program with surgery for people who have had heel pain for more than six months and haven't been helped by other treatments. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving foot function.
