简要总结
This is a comparative single blinded study studying the effects of Myofascial release versus Cupping therapy on pain and function in patients with plantar heel pain. Patients will be allocated to either the myofascial release group or the cupping therapy group intervention will be given for 5 sessions over 2 week, apart from either of these techniques the patients will receive exercise therapy based on the institutional protocol. The primary outcome measures shall be assessed at day 1 and after 2 weeks, it includes pressure algometry, visual analog scale and foot function index. This will be followed by statistical analysis within and between groups
