Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Visual Analogue Scale of Pain	A visual analogue scale of pain will assess from 0, no pain, to 10, the worst possible pain	Change from baseline (before intervention) to one day, two days, three days and four days after intervention
Secondary	Bandage durability	Period of time in days from when the bandage is put on until it comes off	Change from baseline (the bandage is put on) until the first day that the loss of the bandage is documented, assessed up to 7 days
