Many patients suffer from this condition for more than six months without relief.\n\nThe study compares two groups: one receiving fESWT treatment plus a specific exercise program, and a \"wait-list\" group that only performs the exercises at first. The shockwave treatment uses precise sound waves targeted at the painful area to stimulate the body's natural healing process.\n\nResearchers will measure if the treatment reduces pain and improves the patient's ability to walk and perform daily activities. Additionally, ultrasound will be used to see if the thickness of the plantar fascia (the tissue under the foot) decreases and returns to a healthier state. The goal is to confirm if fESWT provides a faster and more effective recovery than exercise alone.",[27,28,29],"Plantar Fascitis","Chronic Plantar Fasciitis","Fasciitis",[31,32,33],"FOCUSED SHOCK WAVE THERAPY","fESWT","PLANTAR FASCIA THICKNESS","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-03-17",{"date":37,"type":38},"2026-03-20","ACTUAL",{"date":40,"type":21},"2026-04-15",{"date":42,"type":21},"2027-06-30",{"name":44,"class":45},"Sierra Varona SL","OTHER",{"id":47,"slug":48,"hasResults":11,"nctId":49,"briefTitle":50,"officialTitle":50,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":51,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":52,"maxAge":53,"enrollmentInfo":54,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":56,"briefSummary":57,"conditions":58,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":34,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":60,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":61,"startDateStruct":63,"completionDateStruct":65,"leadSponsor":67,"locationsCount":4},"100606949","effect-of-foot-core-control-training-on-dorsiflexion-function-and-gait-biomechanical-characteristics-of-patients-with-chronic-plantar-fasciitis-100606949","NCT07182201","Effect of Foot Core Control Training on Dorsiflexion Function and Gait Biomechanical Characteristics of Patients With Chronic Plantar Fasciitis","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* (1) Ultrasound findings indicating plantar fascia thickness\\>4 mm or 20% thickening compared to the contralateral side; (2) Age 25-45 years; (3) Ankle dorsiflexion range \\\u003C65° in weight-bearing standing position; (4) Persistent heel pain lasting ≥3 months but ≤1 year; (5) No prior treatment within 1 month prior to hospital admission; (6) Subjects without prior CPF surgical intervention.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* (1) Concurrent presence of severe malignant diseases; (2) Abnormal conditions such as skin ulcers or infections on the sole; (3) Concurrent neurological or immunological disorders; (4) Concurrent heel deformity or fracture; (5) Secondary CPF caused by rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or other conditions; (6) Concurrent cognitive impairment, mental abnormalities, or difficulty completing relevant assessment scales.","25 Years","45 Years",{"count":55,"type":21},34,[24],"The pain and abnormal gait postures observed in CPF patients may be associated with impaired foot function. However, few studies have examined the dorsiflexion function of the big toe in CPF patients, and the effectiveness of foot core control training in alleviating pain and improving gait remains unclear. Restricted movement of the metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ1) may severely compromise foot function, leading to gait pattern alterations and subsequent instability. To address this, our study aims to improve symptoms, functional outcomes, and gait through foot core control training interventions. We recorded kinematic parameters and biomechanical data during the foot's plantar phase at toe-off before and after functional training for CPF patients. Comparative analysis between intervention groups revealed whether foot core control training can effectively enhance big toe dorsiflexion function and gait biomechanics in CPF patients. This research clarifies the therapeutic efficacy of foot core control training for CPF patients.",[28,59],"Functional Hallux Limitus","2025-09-11",{"date":62,"type":38},"2025-09-19",{"date":64,"type":21},"2025-09-22",{"date":66,"type":21},"2025-12-31",{"name":68,"class":45},"Peking University Third Hospital"]
