Sponsor's own description
Chronic plantar fasciitis is a prevalent condition causing persistent heel pain, often refractory to conservative treatments. This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of corticosteroid injection (CSI) , extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), and radiofrequency thermal lesioning (RTL) in the management of chronic plantar fasciitis.
