ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a special type of insole designed to help people who suffer from plantar heel pain, also known as plantar fasciitis. The study aims to see if using this insole for one year can improve mobility and help people return to their normal daily activities more quickly. If you or someone you know has been dealing with plantar fasciitis for at least six months and hasn’t found relief from other treatments, this trial might be a good fit.

To participate, you need to be between 18 and 70 years old and willing to follow the trial guidelines. Unfortunately, people with uncontrolled diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, past foot surgeries, or certain other health issues may not be eligible. Participants will be asked to wear the insole and report their experiences over the year, helping researchers understand how effective this treatment can be. If you have further questions or are interested in joining, please reach out for more information!
