Relationship Between Central Sensitization and Clinical Features in Plantar Fasciitis

NCT07640620 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 128

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and is traditionally considered a mechanical musculoskeletal disorder. Recent evidence suggests that central sensitization may also contribute to pain in individuals with plantar fasciitis. This study aims to investigate the relationships between neurophysiological variables (pressure pain threshold, central sensitization, and pain intensity), psychological factors (pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, anxiety, and depression), ultrasonographic findings (plantar fascia thickness), and functional outcomes (foot function and quality of life) in patients with plantar fasciitis.

Conditions

  • Plantar Fasciitis

Interventions

OTHER

Pressure Pain Threshold Assessment

Pressure pain threshold measurements will be performed using a pressure algometer to assess pain sensitivity.

OTHER

Ultrasonographic Assessment

Ultrasonographic evaluation will be performed to measure plantar fascia thickness and assess plantar fascia morphology.
