Comparison of Platelet-Rich Plasma and Prolotherapy for Plantar Fasciitis
Sponsor: Bangladesh Medical University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the comparative effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and prolotherapy in patients with plantar fasciitis. Both interventions are commonly used regenerative injection therapies intended to improve pain and functional outcomes in patients who do not respond adequately to conventional conservative treatments. Participants diagnosed with plantar fasciitis will be randomly assigned to receive either PRP injection or prolotherapy. The results of this study aim to identify the more effective injection therapy for improving clinical outcomes in patients with plantar fasciitis
