Plantar FasciitisTapingNCT05384236
A Comparative Study of Kinesiology Taping Versus Taping in the Treatment of Plantar Fasciitis
A study testing kinesiology taping and taping or Low-dye taping in people with Plantar Fasciitis, run by University of Valencia at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Plantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective. Read more about this study

About this study
Plantar fasciitis is a very studied pathology and treated with taping. There are studies that assess the effectiveness of Kinesio taping, as well as taping or low-dye taping, few studies that compare the two treatments and assess which is more effective.
In the present work the effectiveness of Kinesio taping and taping will be assessed, as well as whether possible differences among intervention effects exist in terms of pain improvement, comfort and durability of the bandage.
- Conditions
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Being tested
- kinesiology taping, taping or Low-dye taping
- Medical subject headings
- Fasciitis, Plantar

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Visual Analogue Scale of Pain (time frame: seven days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
