Tibial nerve size in chronic plantar fasciitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares the size of a nerve in the foot (the tibial nerve) between people with chronic plantar fasciitis and healthy individuals. It aims to understand if nerve changes are linked to this condition, which might help improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study evaluates the best ways to diagnose and measure chronic heel pain (plantar fasciitis) in patients considering surgery. By comparing patients with long-lasting heel pain to those without foot problems, researchers aim to improve how doctors identify and assess this condition.
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 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 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 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 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.
