A randomized, prospective study was conducted to compare the individual effectiveness of three types of conservative therapy in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. One hundred three subjects were randomly assigned to one of three treatment categories: anti-inflammatory, accommodative, or mechanical. Subjects were treated for 3 months, with follow-up visits at 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks. For the 85 patients who completed the study, a statistically significant difference was noted between groups, with mechanical treatment with taping and orthoses proving to be more effective than either anti-inflammatory or accommodative modalities.
一项随机前瞻性研究旨在比较三种保守治疗方法在治疗足底筋膜炎方面的个体有效性。103名受试者被随机分配到三个治疗组之一：抗炎组、适应性组或机械组。受试者接受3个月的治疗，并在第2、4、6和12周进行随访。对于完成研究的85名患者，各治疗组之间存在统计学上的显著差异，使用贴扎和矫形器的机械治疗被证明比抗炎或适应性治疗方式更有效。
