Comparing treatments for Plantar Fasciitis using collagen peptides and ESWT

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of two treatments for Plantar Fasciitis: infiltration of Collagen Hydrolyzed Peptides and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT). Patients are randomized into three groups, receiving either treatment alone or a combination of both. The outcomes are measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Ankle Function Assessment Scale (AFAS) to evaluate pain and functional improvement. The goal is to determine which treatment or combination yields the best results for patients suffering from this condition.
