Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a combination treatment consisting of ESWT and stretching of different muscles in the lower body compared to ESWT treatment alone in patients with plantar fasciitis.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of pain in the heel of the foot, manifested by the presence of pain in the antero-internal part of the calcaneus. Currently, there is ample evidence of the efficacy of both shock waves and stretching in their treatment, however, no study has proven what results are obtained by combining the application of shock waves with stretching in different leg muscles. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to compare the effects of OC treatment in conjunction with leg-length stretches against shock waves alone in reducing pain in patients with PF. The secondary objectives will be to observe the effects of both treatments on disability and activity limitation in both the short and medium term. Materials and Methods: A double-blind randomized clinical trial will be conducted. A total of 52 subjects (26 in each group) will participate in the study, divided into one group that will undergo shockwave therapy plus real stretching (experimental group) and another that will undergo shockwave therapy plus placebo stretching (control group). The primary variable of the study will be pain, and secondary variables will include changes in disability and activity limitation. ;
