Plantar Fasciitis Treatment: Influence of the Possible Presence of Subchondral Bone Edema

NCT05925777 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Standard treatments of plantar fasciitis include stretching exercises of the posterior muscle chain and plantar fascia, taking anti-inflammatories, cortisone infiltration or biostimulation with physical therapies (low energy laser therapy, shock waves, ultrasound therapy, etc.). In non-responsive forms to conservative treatments, surgical treatment can be undertaken.

Laser therapy is indicated for plantar fasciitis, in particular for its biological anti-inflammatory, anti-edema and reparative effects on the plantar fascia; to date, the potential effects also on the underlying bone edema component, when present, which aggravates and self-maintains the ongoing pathology are not known.
