Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Calcaneal Spur
• Interventions: Other: High power LASER; Other: Ice application; Other: Shockwave therapy; Drug: Platelet rich plasma; Other: Sham LASER

• Registration Number: NCT06510673
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

PURPOSE: To compare the effect of Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and high-power LASER therapy for the treatment of patients with calcaneal spur Background: Calcaneal spur is a common musculoskeletal disorder of the foot that affect the quality-of-life Conservative treatment modalities include, cold application, platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), shoe modification, therapeutic ultrasound, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), laser therapy (LLLT) are commonly used in the treatment of calcaneal spur.

HYPOTHESES: There will be difference between Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High- power LASER therapy on pain intensity in patients with calcaneal spur There will be difference between Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High- power LASER therapy on function in patients with calcaneal spur. There will be difference between Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High- power LASER therapy on the size of calcaneal spur in patients with calcaneal spur.

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there any difference between the effect of Extracorporeal shock wave therapy and High-power LASER on calcaneal spur?

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pain Visual Analog Scale	Baseline and after one month	It is a self reported outcome which is a 10 cm line with zero at one end indicating no pain and 10 at the other end indicating maximum pain. Patient will be asked to mark the current pain on the scale and the distance from the starting point (0) will be measured
foot function index.	Baseline and after one month	measure the impact of foot pathology on function in terms of pain, disability and activity restriction. it is a self-administered index
calcaneal Spur length	Baseline and after one month	Spur length will be measured by MRI
