Active clinical trials for "Fasciitis, Plantar"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Erchonia HPS Laser is effective in the treatment of chronic heel pain arising from plantar fasciitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the AmnioFix Injectable human amniotic membrane is effective in the treatment of recalcitrant plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciopathy is a chronic condition affecting both sedentary populations, individuals in the workplace who must stand for prolonged periods of time, and athletes. It can be disabling. There is no single accepted treatment course that is recommended in the literature. The use of pulsed radio-frequency electromagnetic (PRFE) devices has been proposed as a treatment option in chronic soft-tissue injury due to its ability to reduce pain and inflammation. The proposed study will investigate the efficacy of the use of a PRFE device for the treatment of chronic heel pain using a double blind randomized placebo controlled design study.

Rationale: The standard treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis is corticosteroid injections. Corticosteroid injection give temporarily pain reduction, but no healing. Blood platelets initiate the natural healing rate. GPS ® gives an eightfold concentrate platelets of patients own blood. Injection of these platelets in the tendon might induce a healing rate. Objective: To compare the efficacy of autologous platelet concentrate injections with corticosteroid injection in patients suffering from plantar fasciitis with respect to pain and function.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the Storz Duolith SD1 is more effective than placebo for treatment of heel pain syndrome for patients who have failed conservative treatment with other therapies.

MAIN OBJECTIVE: To value the effectiveness of the different quiropody interventions in the heel pain. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of lasw different technologies in front of each one of the other experimental technologies. To analyze the state of general health and of quality of the patients' life in all the treatment groups. To analyze the study cost-effectiveness of each one of the experimental interventions. DESIGN: randomized controled trial, prospective. SUBJECT OF STUDY: Patient that go to the Assistance Educational Unit of Podología of the E.U. Sciences of the Health with footpain like consultation reason. INTERVENTION: Establishment of four experimental groups with intervention varied podológica. He/she will be carried out a complete pursuit with valuations at the 1,2, 6, 12 and 24 months, by means of pain scales and function of the foot (FHSQ), the index postural of the foot (FPI), the study of pressures by means of biofoot/IBV and of the state of general health (SF-12) and quality of life (Euroqol). VARIABLES: Of intervention; treatment basic orthopodiatry, treatment advanced orthopodiatry, of treatment quiropody. Of result: pain and function of the foot (FHSQ), of the state of general health (SF12) and quality of life (Euroqol). Variables of characterization of the sample. ANALYSIS DATA: Descriptive statistic, with measures of central tendency and dispersion of the study variables. They will be carried out statistical inferenciales between the main variables of intervention and result (square chi, t Student, ANOVA, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, according to types and normality of variables). Likewise, measures of the size of the effect will settle down in the main variables of result, by means of the relative reduction of the risk, absolute risk and odds ratio, with their respective intervals of trust.

The goal of this clinical trial] is to compare between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is there a difference between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique on pain pressure threshold in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis? Is there a difference between the effect of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization and positional release technique on foot function level in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis?

Previous studies has discussed the effects of muscle energy technique and counterstrain technique in upper trapezius and low back pain but no comparative study is found on planter fasciitis patients. In this study we are going to compare the effects of muscle energy technique and counterstrain technique with routine physical therapy in relation with pain, functional status and satisfaction level in planter fasciitis patients

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical outcomes of patients with plantar fasciitis following treatment with Amnios™ RT. Patients will be randomized to either Amnios™ RT or a placebo control.
