简要总结
Determine if the addition of a specific acupuncture protocol to a standard of care prescribed exercise program is more effective at improving pain and function in adult patients with plantar fasciosis.
详细描述
This is a randomized, controlled, multi-site trial investigating whether a specific acupuncture protocol can improve pain and function in adults with plantar fasciosis when added to standard of care treatment. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a significant improvement in both pain and functional outcomes, both acutely and over time, in the experimental group compared to the control group.

结局指标
主要结局
Foot function index revised short (FFI-R short)
时间窗: visit 5 (week 12)
FFI-R short uses a likert questionnaire to document foot pain severity, foot stiffness, difficulty performing activities, activity limitation, and social issues related to affected foot. It consists of 23 self-reported items divided into 3 subcategories on the basis of patient values: pain, disability and activity limitation.The patient has to score each question on a scale from 0 (no pain or difficulty) to 10 (worst pain imaginable or so difficult it requires help), that best describes their foot over the past week.
Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS)
时间窗: visit 5 (week 12)
The DVPRS consists of an 11-point numerical rating scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating severe pain. It has been confirmed for reliability and validity in measuring both acute and chronic pain, and is currently the standard for pain measurement throughout DoD and VA health systems. The DVPRS has demonstrated linear scale qualities allowing parametric methods to be used
Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale Supplemental Questions
时间窗: The DVPRS consists of an 11-point numerical rating scale with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating severe pain. visit 5 (week 12)
For clinicians to evaluate the biopsychosocial impact of pain.
