Summary

The goal of this observational study is to explore potential associations between baseline patient characteristics (such as age, body mass index, and baseline pain intensity) and clinical outcomes in patients with plantar fasciitis undergoing radial pressure wave therapy (RPWT). The study includes male and female adults aged 18 to 60 years.

Detailed description

Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a common cause of heel pain, significantly impairing functionality and quality of life. Radial pressure wave therapy (RPWT) has emerged as a non-invasive therapeutic option. However, there is limited evidence regarding factors that may influence clinical outcomes in patients receiving this treatment. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to explore potential associations between baseline patient characteristics (such as age, body mass index, and pain intensity) and clinical outcomes in patients with PF treated with RPWT. Additionally, this study aims to assess changes in pain intensity and functionality following RPWT. Materials and Methods: This is an exploratory, pilot observational study including patients diagnosed with PF who undergo three sessions of RPWT. The study evaluates changes in pain intensity, assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and functionality, measured using the WHODAS 2.0. Patient characteristics such as age, body mass index (BMI), and PF chronicity are collected retrospectively from medical records. Statistical analyses will be conducted to examine potential associations between patient characteristics and treatment outcomes.
