Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of local corticosteroid injection on pain, foot function index, and plantar fascia thickness in patients clinically diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, and to determine whether local corticosteroid injection is an appropriate treatment option for plantar fasciitis. For this purpose, the study plans to assess plantar fascia thickness using ultrasonography, evaluate pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and investigate the impact on daily living activities in patients who have been clinically diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and treated with local corticosteroid injections.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Plantar Fasciitis Patients with Corticosteroid Injection

The study cohort consists of patients clinically diagnosed with plantar fasciitis who have received local corticosteroid injections as part of their treatment. These patients were selected based on clinical criteria for plantar fasciitis and have undergone at least one ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection targeting the affected plantar fascia.

No interventions assigned to this group
