An interventional study of nerve mobilization and physical therapy in Plantar Fasciitis, Chronic, sponsored by Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University. Not yet recruiting at 1 site in Saudi Arabia. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 50 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-18.
Sponsored by Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
BThis study will be designed to compare between the effect of adding posterior tibial nerve or saphenous nerve mobilization to the traditional physical therapy on pain intensity, foot function, pressure pain threshold, ankle dorsiflexion ROM and central sensitization in patients with PF.
: Sixty patients with PF will be included in this study: Patients will be randomly assigned into three groups. Patients in group A will receive traditional physical therapy plus posterior tibial nerve mobilization while group B will receive the same traditional physical therapy and saphenous nerve mobilization, and group C will receive only traditional physical therapy. Three sessions will be held for six weeks. Patients will be evaluated for pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), foot function, ankle dorsiflexion ROM and central sensitization

Start is estimated for Jul 2026; primary completion for Sep 2026, 2 months later.
Of 104 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Fasciitis, Plantar, half reached primary completion within 11 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 21. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 109 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 22.
