dc.description.abstract | Conservative treatments for plantar fasciitis have different levels of effectiveness, so it is
necessary to personalize the therapeutic modality that improves the patients’ symptoms. Methods:
A double-blinded randomized clinical trial was designed to evaluate the short-term efficacy of a
physical treatment in chronic plantar fasciitis, namely iontophoresis, compared with radial shockwave
therapy. Heel pain, health status using the EuroQol-5D questionnaire, and fascia thickness measured
with ultrasound were evaluated. In total, 127 patients were randomly selected for group A and
treated with iontophoresis therapy (lidocaine 0.4% and dexamethasone 0.5%), or for group B, in which
they were treated with radial shockwave therapy (EWST). Measurements were taken at baseline
and at follow-up during the 5 weeks of the study. Results: Statistically significant differences were
observed to the shockwave therapy group in respect to the final fascia thickness, and the VAS scale
(p = 0.001). The differences between groups A and B showed that the shockwave group follow-up
after 3 weeks experienced complete pain remission (1.0 ± 0.9; 95%CI 0.8–1.2) and after the 6-week
follow-up, complete pain remission of plantar fasciitis was observed for both therapies. Patients had
a better perception of the use of EWST at the end of the treatment, although in both groups it was
satisfactory (p = 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed a shorter-term effectiveness
of shockwave treatment compared with the use of iontophoresis. However, both techniques were
effective in satisfactorily reducing pain in this short period. | es |
