Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Calcaneal Spur
• Interventions: Device: Focus extracorporeal shock wave therapy; Device: Radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy; Device: Sham extracorporeal shock wave therapy

• Registration Number: NCT04836845
• Lead Sponsor: Yuzuncu Yıl University

Brief Summary

To date, focused and radial types of ESWT have been effectively used in calcaneal spur. However, studies directly addressing a comparison between radial and focused types of ESWT in calcaneal spur have not been done.
