Filter by:To assess whether the provision of a tension night splint (TNS) device has any additional benefit in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis, compared to routine care comprising physiotherapy & podiatry alone.
To investigate whether a procedure of ultrasound-guided autologous blood injections (ABI), which includes a dry-needling component within the overall procedure, has any measureable clinical benefit over ultrasound-guided dry needling alone in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis.
The investigators will compare Achilles tendon stretching with a new product called a ThermaWedge™ device, a foam wedge designed to help with certain foot stretches and exercises, in the treatment of chronic plantar fasciopathy. There will be 2 groups each of 25 - 30 participants who have chronic plantar fasciopathy, which is a common cause of foot pain. Exercises will be done for 6 weeks and then each group will do the other exercise protocol for another 6 weeks. Participants will fill out the Foot and Ankle Disability Index scale and numerical analog pain scale and the Global Rating of Change Scale prior to any treatment, weekly during treatment and post treatment. The investigators' hypothesis is that use of the ThermaWedge™ device will result in decreased pain and disability when compared to achilles tendon stretching.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of hyperic oxygen treatment on the immune response in patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AB103 is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTI) receiving standard of care therapy.
The plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of pain on the underside of the heel. About 10% to 20% of the population suffer once during their lifetime. PF concept began to describe at the end of XX century through the discovery of new clinical and histopathological signs of the plantar fascia. The difficulty of diagnosis, understanding and treatment of PF require us to develop new treatment avenues to improve the approach and the understanding of it. Dry needling (DN) as a treatment of myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) and myofascial trigger points (MTP) of muscle associated with the pathology, it may be a good treatment strategy, as demonstrated in the treatment of MPS in other body regions such as the neck, shoulder or the lumbar spine.
The purpose of this study is to compare in a randomized controlled trial the effect of endoscopic operation with the standard conservative treatmentprotocol with training supplemented with 1-3 injections of glucocorticoids in patients with chronic plantar fasciopathia.
Prospective, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial of the micronized dHACM injection as compared to the saline placebo injection in the treatment of plantar fasciitis
The purpose of this research is to compare patient outcomes following treatment of plantar fasciitis with conventional physical therapy (stretching, strengthening, ultrasound, manual therapy, and cryotherapy) and conventional physical therapy plus dry needling. Physical therapists commonly use conventional physical therapy techniques and dry needling to treat plantar fasciitis, and this study is attempting to find out if the addition of dry needling to conventional physical therapy is more effective than conventional physical therapy alone.
Although there are many conservative method for plantar fasciitis, patients might spend 2 years to achieve resolution. Recent study have shown that pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) lesioning of peripheral nerve can alleviate kinds of pain condition. However there are no studies of PRF lesioning of the tibial nerve in patients with plantar fascilitis by using ultrasound-guided (UG) techniques.
