Study Overview
Brief Summary
successful treatment of plantar fasciitis usually requires a combination of treatment modalities, rather than administering only one treatment at a time there were no studies showing the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma as a safe and effective therapeutic adjuvant. we would be using three parameters to assess the disease by radiological and functional outcomes in PFPS, FAAM, and ultrasonogram of the plantar fascia. Hence our study aimed at proving the efficacy of PRP as a combined modality treatment of plantar fasciitis.We hypothesize that Platelet-rich plasma local injection given along with standard conventional treatment reduces pain and improves functional outcomes better than standard conventional treatment alone among patients with plantar fasciitis
