SakuraBead Used as Resorbable Embolic for Plantar Fascia Embolization

An interventional study of Arterial Embolization and Extracorporeal shockwave therapy in Plantar Fascitis, Heel Pain and Musculoskeletal Diseases, sponsored by CrannMed. Recruiting at 1 site in Uzbekistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-11-21.

Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Fasciitis, a narrower term within Musculoskeletal Diseases.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

This is a prospective, single center, double arm, randomized, unmasked, First in Human study that aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of SakuraBead™ resorbable embolization microspheres in adult patients suffering from pain secondary to plantar fasciitis.

Read the detailed description

To compare safety and efficacy of SakuraBead with shockwave therapy for the treatment of pain secondary to plantar fasciitis. Treatment will be performed on a total of approximately 45 patients who will be followed up for a period of 6 months.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Arterial Embolisation

    Temporary embolization using resorbable microspheres

    Device: Arterial Embolization

  • Active comparator
    Shockwave

    Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT); a non-invasive therapeutic approach used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including plantar fasciitis.

    Device: Extracorporeal shockwave therapy

Interventions

  • DeviceArterial Embolization

    Resorbable microspheres are delivered trans-arterially using a microcatheter or introducer sheath to the site of embolization where they will temporarily embolize the hypervascularity in the targeted region with preservation of normal arterial flow.

  • DeviceExtracorporeal shockwave therapy

    Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a treatment using acoustic pulses to treat plantar fasciitis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint

    Compare the proportion of responders between the Investigational procedure and Control.

    Time frame: 3 Months

  2. Primary Safety Endpoint

    Freedom from device or procedure-related serious adverse events (SAE) following the index procedure (proportions will be compared between Investigational procedure and Control).

    Time frame: 3 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 21, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
