View clinical trials related to Fasciitis, Plantar.
Filter by:Plantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective. In the present work the effectiveness of Kinesio taping and taping will be assessed, as well as whether possible differences among intervention effects exist in terms of pain improvement, comfort and durability of the bandage.
This single-blinded, randomized-controlled trial compares the efficacy of ultrasound-guided onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injections to the flexor digitorum brevis with current standard of care corticosteroid injections to the plantar fascia for the treatment of refractory plantar fasciitis in patients that have failed six weeks of non-operative treatment.
to compare the effects of massage gun and transverse friction massage on management of pain and disability in patients with plantar fasciitis.
a number of patient diagnosed as degenerative plantar fasciitis will be collected and divided into two groups, group I will be injected by platelet rich plasma and group II will be injected methylprednisolone
One of the pathologies most studied and treated with kinesiotape (KT) is plantar fasciitis (PF). In most of the studies reviewed, it is concluded that there is an improvement in the symptoms of PF when treated with KT: either combined with other therapies or as a single treatment compared to placebo. However, most current studies have limitations because the sample is small, the effect size is small, and the evidence is insufficient or of low quality. In the present work, the aim is to study the effectiveness of KT in PF, and to compare the results with those obtained in a placebo group, which is treated with tape. The researchers will assess the decrease in symptoms prior to performing other definitive treatments. In addition, the variability of the painful symptoms and the durability of the bandage will be studied, in order to determine whether it can be used in the short or long period of time, being able to take it into account and supposing a supplement to the pharmacological treatment.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery along with Routine Physical Therapy in motor function and balance in patients with Parkinson disease.
Plantar Fasciitis (PF) is a frequently and commonly reported heel pain present in every age with multifactorial etiology. It is the most common reason for constant heel pain in adults affecting both young active and older sedentary individuals. PF is reported approx. 11%-15% of all foot symptoms demanding professional care among adults. Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (IASTM) refers to a technique that utilizes instruments to eliminate scar tissues and work with mending measure through development of new extracellular lattice proteins like collagen that may be effective in providing immediate and quick pain relief by covering a larger area. On the other hand, numerous options with conservative measures has been frequently documented in treating plantar fasciitis that may include stretching, massage, orthosis, anti-inflammatory agents and surgery etc. Although, transverse friction massage has been considered to be one of the best treatment option in reducing pain, releasing tight areas and promoting flexibility. Besides, several studies reported the usefulness of potential assessment tools for remote monitoring of patients that can be utilized by clinicians for wider range of purposes. To the best of author's knowledge, limited studies has been conducted till date utilizing the IASTM technique in comparison to conservative treatment options with standardized assessments in treating PF. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of IASTM to assess thickness, pain, and foot function by using ultrasound for the management of plantar fasciitis patients. The findings of this study may be useful to establish an effective treatment protocol to enhance the quality of life of the target population.
To explore effects of Autologous Blood Injection versus Platelet Rich plasma injection for treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis
This prospective clinical cohort study will follow 40 patients who recieve botulinum toxin A treatment for proximal medial gastrocnemius tightness with subsequent Chronic Plantar Fasciitis for two years. Three injections of botulinum toxin (75IU) will be administered with intervals of three months. Participants will be followed at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years with Patient Related Outcome Measures (PROMS) and physical test (Ergotest and ankle dorsiflexion).
A set of 100 patients previously diagnosed with plantar fasciitis will be given initial questionnaires about their symptoms and randomly assigned either night splints or the novel calf stretching device. The participants will use each device for 6 weeks. At the end of those 6 weeks, they will return for a follow up questionnaire. The answers in the questionnaire will be analyzed to compare the effectiveness of night splints to calf stretching.
