Ultrasound-Guided Tibial Nerve Block vs. Local Corticosteroid Injection in Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis Treatment

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Tibial Nerve; Injections; Ultrasonography; Plantar Fascitis
• Interventions: Device: Injection; Other: Conservational therapy; Device: Tibial nerve block

• Registration Number: NCT04029389
• Lead Sponsor: Gaziosmanpasa Research and Education Hospital

Brief Summary

A randomized controlled study to search for the efficiency of tibial nerve block vs local corticosteroid injection of the plantar fascia.

Detailed Description

Three groups will be formed. After ESWT therapy, if the patients still suffer from pain (\> 5 points, visual analog scale(0-10points), participants will be included in the study. One group will receive conversational therapy. Second group will be treated with local corticosteroid injection. And third group will be treated with tibial nerve block. Before-treatment, after one week, after six weeks and after 3 months evaluation of the patients will be performed.

Recalcitrant Plantar Fasciitis/Tibial nerve	Tibial nerve block	After ESWT therapy patients suffer from extreme pain will receive tibial nerve block

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
VAS-Pain	Three months	A scale on 0-10 points. 0 points indicate no pain, and 10 points show worst pain ever
