IRCT20230712058753N1 IRCT 2023-08-01 Esfahan University of Medical Sciences Evaluating the effect of magnet therapy on foot pain and function in people with plantar inflammation Evaluating the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field on pain and function index in people with plantar fasciitis 2023-07-23 anticipated 40 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/71281 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: In this study, two non-surgical treatment methods are compared for people with plantar fasciitis.After starting the study, the patients referred by the orthopedic doctor, who refer to the physiotherapy center during the study period, are divided into two groups of 20 people by a random block method and using a table of random numbers by someone other than the therapist and the evaluator.It is worth mentioning that in this study we will have ten blocks of four, so that two people from the intervention group and two people from the control group will be randomly placed in each block of four, Randomization description: Patients are divided into two groups of 20 people in a random block manner using a table of random numbers by a person other than the therapist and evaluator.In this study, there are ten blocks of four, two people from the intervention group and two people from the control group will be randomly placed in each block of four, Blinding description: In order to create double blinding, it will be so that the patients as well as the evaluator and statistical analyst do not know how to group people, and someone other than the therapist evaluates the patients. In other words, the patients are in progress, and we have two treatment groups in this study, but they are unaware of which group they belong to, because in both groups, a magnet device is used, with the difference that in the control group, the device will not have an output and only the therapist is aware of it; Actually, because the device does not generate heat, the patient does not feel any special symptoms when the device is on and the current is established. Therefore, in this study, the patients and the evaluator (a person other than the therapist) are blinded. N/A Plantar fasciitis. Intervention 1: Control group: People only receive 10 sessions of common physiotherapy treatment. Each session includes 5 minutes of pulse ultrasound therapy (with 50% duty cycle, 1MHz frequency and 1.2W/cm2 intensity) and 20 minutes of TENS analgesic modality along (with 8Hz frequency, 300µs pulse width and motor intensity) with stretching exercises for the cuff muscles and plantar fascia and strengthening exercises for the anterior tibialis muscle. Intervention 2: Intervention group: In addition to receiving 10 sessions of common physiotherapy, people also receive 10 sessions of the electromagnetic field treatment program (with square wave shape and 30% duty cycle and 7.5Hz frequency and 100mT intensity) for 10 minutes. Undecided - It is not yet known if there will be a plan to make this available Justification or reason for indecision in sharing IPD is According to the obtained results, a decision will be made in this regard.

Each session includes 5 minutes of pulse ultrasound therapy (with 50% duty cycle, 1MHz frequency and 1.2W/cm2 intensity) and 20 minutes of TENS analgesic modality along (with 8Hz frequency, 300µs pulse width and motor intensity) with stretching exercises for the cuff muscles and plantar fascia and strengthening exercises for the anterior tibialis muscle. Intervention group: In addition to receiving 10 sessions of common physiotherapy, people also receive 10 sessions of the electromagnetic field treatment program (with square wave shape and 30% duty cycle and 7.5Hz frequency and 100mT intensity) for 10 minutes. Pain: It is a dependent variable that is usually measured by a score, and it is a score that a person should give to the level of pain from zero to ten. In fact, a score of zero equals no pain and a score of ten equals severe unbearable pain. Timepoint: Before starting the intervention; immediately after the last treatment session; Four weeks after completion of treatment. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale. Foot Function Index: It is a questionnaire that is used in patients with foot problems, it has 23 items that are placed in three subgroups, and it examines the intensity of pain, disability and limitations of people. People should give each question a score between 0-10. Timepoint: Before starting the intervention; immediately after the last treatment session; Four weeks after completion of treatment. Method of measurement: Foot Function Index questionnaire.
