Summary

This clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of infiltrations in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy, a painful condition that affects the sole of the foot and is common in active people. Plantar fasciopathy is caused by inflammation or damage to the plantar fascia, the tissue that connects the heel to the toes. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive one of two treatments: corticosteroid infiltrations or conservative treatment without infiltrations. Infiltrations will be guided by ultrasound to ensure accuracy. The study will evaluate pain reduction and improvement in foot function over a six-month period. The objective of the study is to determine if infiltrations provide a significant improvement compared to other non-invasive treatments. The results will help doctors and patients make informed decisions about the best treatment options for plantar fasciopathy.

Detailed description

This clinical study, titled \"Effectiveness of Infiltrations in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciopathy\", will be carried out at the University of Seville and its main objective is to evaluate the impact of corticosteroid infiltrations on pain reduction and functional improvement in patients diagnosed with plantar fasciopathy.

Conditions

• Plantar Fasciitis of Both Feet
• Plantar Fasciopathy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Infiltration	The intervention consists of the administration of infiltrations in the affected plantar fascia of participants with a diagnosis of plantar fasciopathy. A drug such as a corticosteroid, PRP or hyaluronic acid will be used, which will be injected under ultrasound guidance to ensure precision at the site of the injury. This intervention aims to reduce inflammation and pain, thus improving the functionality of the foot. Up to three infiltrations will be performed, depending on the patient\'s response to treatment and medical evaluation. The infiltrations will be compared with a control group that will receive conservative treatment without infiltrations, to evaluate the relative effectiveness of this pharmacological intervention in the management of plantar fasciopathy.
OTHER	Conservative treatment	The control group is used to compare the effectiveness of infiltrations with a non-invasive approach in the treatment of plantar fasciopathy. This group will not receive any infiltration and will focus on conservative interventions.
