Filter by:Many patients suffer from chronic heel pain, and studies have not yet found the most appropriate treatment. There are some researchers who claim that the pain is caused by weakness in the muscles of the foot, which causes increased pressure in the heel. In walking, the muscles of the foot are activated and strengthened. No research has yet been done on whether walking (barefoot or with shoes) on a treadmill reduces pain in the heel and improves function.
The primary objective of this trial will be to demonstrate the ability of a 3/4 length foam insole to provide relief from pain due to plantar fasciitis or general heel pain when used in footwear over a 4-week period of time
Background: Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in runners. No studies have described the short-term effects of myofascial release on plantar fasciitis using ultrasound. Objectives: To describe the immediate sonoelastographic changes in the plantar fascia of amateur runners with fasciitis after applying a myofascial release technique. Design: A single-centre, experimental and controlled study. Method: Patients with plantar fasciitis and a group of healthy subjects will be examined using B-mode and real time sonoelastography scanning. Fascia thickness, echointensity and echovariation of the color histogram will be analyzed pre- and post intervention. A two-way (Group × Time) repeated measures ANOVA will be performed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (rESWT), sham- rESWT or standardised exercise program is more effective on change in heel pain than usual care in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy. The null hypothesis is: There is no difference between rESWT, sham- rESWT or standardised exercise program on change in heel pain (primary outcome) and functioning (secondary outcomes) compared to usual care in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy at 6 months follow-up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up). Alternative hypothesis is: H1: There is a difference between rESWT and usual care on change in heel pain (and secondary outcomes) at the 6 months follow-up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up). H2: There is a difference between sham-rESWT and usual care on change in heel pain (and secondary outcomes ) at 6 months follow-up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up). H3: There is a difference between standardized exercise program and usual care on change in heel pain (and secondary outcomes) at 6 months follow- up (and secondary outcomes at the 12 months follow-up).
Prospective, double-blinded, randomized controlled trial of the micronized dHACM injection as compared to the saline placebo injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis
Double-blinded feasibility study for the treatment of pain related to chronic plantar fasciitis. A total 37 patients (27 treated and 12 control/sham treated) received 2 treatments, 2 weeks apart on subcutaneous plantar fascia musculoskeletal tissue along with Standard of Care treatments as prescribed by the Principal Investigator. Patients were followed for up to 6 months after the first treatment receiving a physical exam at each follow-up visit (4, 8 and 12 weeks) and provided feedback via Patient/Subject Reported Outcome Measure surveys specific to the treated anatomy at each visit and via phone follow-up at 26 weeks after the first treatment.
A clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness, safety and patient tolerance for the use of Intense Therapeutic Ultrasound (ITU) for chronic, Plantar Fasciitis musculoskeletal tissue pain reduction began in August 2016 and was completed in April 2017. The clinical setting: University Foot and Ankle Institute, Santa Monica, California, USA; Single-Blinded, pivotal study for chronic plantar fasciitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of acupuncture to a standard of care prescribed exercise program is more effective at improving pain and function in adult patients with plantar fasciosis.
This is a clinical trial that will be done in the state of Kuwait, at the physical rehabilitation medicine hospital. the participants will be recruited from all over Kuwait, there is a clinical registry upon the ethical committee in Kuwait assigned by the ministry of health.
(Subproject 1) "Plantar heel pain (PHP)" or "plantar fasciitis" is one of the major foot problems which can occur in any age group. It is a commonly encountered musculoskeletal problem that can cause disability, activity limitation, discomfort, and affect the quality of life. It involves pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, which runs across the bottom of the foot and connects the heel bone to toes. PHP frequently found in active workers aged between 25 and 65 years with the highest incidence in people aged between 40 and 60 years. However, very few studies investigated the alterations of the multisegmental foot motions and muscle functions in patients with PHP. To prescribe the relevant program of treatment and reduce the risk of symptoms chronicity, it is necessary to have an in-depth understanding of changing mechanisms in patients with PHP. To explain how the symptoms occur in patients with PHP, foot function is another aspect that should be determined. One of the popular questionnaires determining foot function is the Foot Function Index (FFI) questionnaire. It has been proved to have good reliability and validity and has been translated into several languages. To be able to use the international standard questionnaire, it is necessary to translate the FFI into Thai. This can be implemented in Thailand and be able to compare the findings of the interventional effect internationally. In addition, very few studies reported the effectiveness of the treatment program for patients with PHP. Among previous evidences, the controversial findings existed. Thus, the intervention program should be evaluated for obtaining the effective treatment for this population. (Subproject 3) The objectives of the study will be General Objective is to investigate the effectiveness of strengthening exercise program on symptoms in patients with plantar heel pain. Specific Objectives is to compare the effectiveness between physical therapy treatment program with strengthening exercise and with stretching exercise on foot function score, pain at worst score, plantar fascia thickness, muscles strength, ankle motion, and gait parameters in patients with plantar heel pain among baseline, after 4th and 8th of treatments, and after 1st and 2nd month of self-home based exercise.
