简要总结
A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted at hamza hospital Lahore ,Lahore poly clinic over 9 months. A total of 60 participants aged 20-45 years with clinically diagnosed plantar fasciitis and identifiable myofascial trigger points were recruited using a non-probability purposive sampling technique. They were randomly assigned to two groups (n=30 each): Group A received dry needling with conventional physiotherapy once per week, while Group B received kinesiology taping with conventional physiotherapy twice per week. Both interventions were administered for 6 weeks. Outcome measures included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) for functional assessment, and SF-12 Health Survey for quality of life. Assessments were conducted at baseline, week 3, and week 6.

研究组 & 干预措施
group/kinesiology taping
The taping was applied for over 12 hours daily and was reapplied twice a week for a total of six weeks
干预措施: kinesiology taping (Other)
group/dry needling
Each dry needling session lasted for approximately 30 minutes. The total duration of the intervention was of 6 weeks with one session per week
干预措施: dry needling (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
plantar fasciitis
时间窗: changes from pre -interventions to 6th week
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of each foot and connects the heel bone to the toes, known as the plantar fascia
Pain Intensity
时间窗: changes from pre interventions to 6th week
Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VAS is a continuous scale where participants indicate their pain level on a line ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain). The distance from the left end of the line to the participant's mark is measured in millimeters, providing a quantifiable score for pain intensity. A higher score reflects greater pain.
Functional Status
时间窗: changes from pre -interventions to 6th week
Functional status will be assessed using the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS). The FAOS is a questionnaire designed to evaluate foot-related disability and pain, consisting of 13 items distributed across three domains: pain, disability, and activity limitation. Each item is rated from 0 (no problem) to 4 (severe problem). Scores for each domain are summed and averaged, with higher scores indicating worse functional status
Quality of Life(SF-12 )
时间窗: changes form pre-interventions to 6th week
The SF-12 Health Survey will be used to assess quality of life. This tool evaluates physical and mental health outcomes, with scores reflecting overall well-being and daily functioning before and after treatment. The SF-12 provides a comprehensive measure of the impact of interventions on patients' quality of life. Scores above 50 indicate a better-than-average health-related quality of life, while scores below 50 suggest below-average health.
