Clinical Trial Summary

A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial Comparing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy with Platelet Rich Plasma versus Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in a High Demand Cohort with Resistant Plantar Fasciitis


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of this proposal is to perform a high-quality pilot study testing the efficacy of ESWT in combination with PRP for the management of resistant plantar fasciitis. We endeavor to determine if the pilot evidence supports a large, randomized study; and to conduct a power analysis for the follow-on study. The proposed pilot study will be a prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing pain and functionality at the 3 week, 6 week, 12 week and 6 month marks between extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection versus extracorporeal shock wave therapy with placebo injection of normal saline. ;
