Clinical Trial Summary

To explore effects of Autologous Blood Injection versus Platelet Rich plasma injection for treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis

Description:

After clinical diagnosis of patients with plantar fasciitis. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A (PRP injection group) and Group B (ABI group) were randomized according to web based block group randomization. Patients were evaluated prior to injection in terms of Health related quality of life scores related to foot and ankle diseases (AOFAS and FADI) and VAS. After injection at 1st, 3rd and 6th months HRQoL were compared between groups. Intra group evaluation for HRQoL were performed at f/up visits. Independent t test and repeated measure ANOVA test used for statistical analysis
