Infracalcaneal Peppering Injection Technique for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis: Protocol for a Parallel Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Corticosteroid injection (CSI) with local anesthetic (LA) and Local anesthetic (LA) with Saline injection for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis. Completed, enrolled 41 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Although no single treatment has shown superiority, short-term pain relief may be offered via a targeted local corticosteroid injection (CSI), used often in combination with local anesthetic (LA), which may reduce plantar fasciitis symptoms for up to 1 month. Moreover, administering a CSI is relatively quick and easy for any Provider to perform, though it is not without potential deleterious side effects and risks, including fibroblast degradation, fat pad atrophy, skin depigmentation, and even plantar fascia rupture.
