NCT05867888 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 75

Last updated 2024-02-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Both shock wave therapy and low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis are effective in improvement of such cases without any side effects but there are no previously published studies on the use of shock wave therapy versus low level laser therapy in plantar fasciitis and, hence, evidence of its acceptability and effectiveness compared with each other remains to be established.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fascitis

Interventions

OTHER

conventional therapy

conventional therapy ( instructions, ice application, deep tissue massage, stretching exercises, joint mobilization and isometric exercises )

OTHER

shock wave therapy

Acoustic waves (shock waves) that can carry energy and can propagate through tissues promote healing effects.

OTHER

low level laser therapy

The application of light to a biologic system to promote tissue regeneration, reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
