Shockwave Phonophoresis on Calcaneal Spur Patients

NCT05373225 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: shockwave phonophoresis
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 60
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The Low energy shockwave has a significant effect on the permeability of tissue. Consequently, it might be used to deliver a substance such as Acetic acid. Accordingly, Shockwave might help to improve the outcomes with calcaneal spur patients. Therefore, the present study might help in the treatment of calcaneal spur patients and also might improve the quality of life in a fast and efficient way.

Conditions

Calcaneal Spur

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)
