Autologous Blood Injection With Dry-Needling vs Dry-Needling Alone Treatment for Chronic Plantar Fasciitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Patrick C. Wheeler et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of ultrasonography-guided autologous blood injection (ABI) and dry needling treatment on patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. The results showed no significant differences between the two groups, but both groups experienced improvements in foot pain and function. The findings suggest that autologous blood injection has no additional effect on the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis.

Sulithep Pinrattana et al.

Summary: This study compared the effects of kinesiotaping, stretching exercise, and a combination of the two on individuals with plantar fasciitis. It was found that all groups showed significant improvement in heel pain after the first treatment, but only the combined treatment group demonstrated improvement in foot function after one week. There was no significant difference in the change score among the three groups in terms of pain and foot disability.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of density and number of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) sessions on pain, fatigue, disability, physical function, and quality of life in patients with plantar fasciitis (PF). The results suggest that a higher number of sessions with high-energy ESWT is more effective than a lower number of sessions with low-energy ESWT for PF patients.
