36-Participant RCT Comparing Low-Dye and Calcaneal Taping for Plantar Fasciitis
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
A randomized controlled trial (NCT07544732) has been registered under the NIH ClinicalTrials.gov database, enrolling 36 participants with plantar fasciitis to compare Low-Dye taping versus Calcaneal taping over a two-week intervention period. The study will measure pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional ability via the Foot Function Index (FFI), ankle range of motion with a goniometer, and gait analysis, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. This trial registration represents standard prospective clinical research documentation and does not impose any compliance obligations on regulated entities.
“This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Low-Dye taping versus calcaneal taping in reducing pain and improving foot function in patients with plantar fasciitis.”

What changed
The document registers a new randomized controlled clinical trial (NCT07544732) on ClinicalTrials.gov, a database operated by the National Institutes of Health. The trial will enroll 36 participants diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and randomly assign them to receive either Low-Dye taping or Calcaneal taping over a two-week treatment window.
Affected parties include clinical researchers, physiotherapy practitioners, and foot-and-ankle specialists who may encounter findings from this trial upon its completion. The registration does not create any immediate compliance obligations but provides advance notice of upcoming evidence that may inform clinical practice guidelines for plantar fasciitis management.

Effects of Low-Dye Taping Compared to Calcaneal Taping in Patients With Plantar Fasciitis
N/A NCT07544732 Kind: NA Apr 22, 2026
Abstract
Plantar fasciitis is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by inflammation and microtears of the plantar fascia, leading to heel pain, particularly during initial steps after rest. It negatively impacts gait, mobility, and overall quality of life. Physiotherapy interventions such as stretching, strengthening, electrotherapy, and taping techniques are commonly used for management. Among these, Low-Dye taping and calcaneal taping provide biomechanical support by reducing strain on the plantar fascia and improving foot posture; however, comparative evidence between the two is limited.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Low-Dye taping versus calcaneal taping in reducing pain and improving foot function in patients with plantar fasciitis. A total of 36 participants will be randomly assigned to either intervention group and treated over a two-week period. Outcome measures will include pain (VAS), functional ability (FFI), ankle range of motion (goniometer), and gait analysis, assessed before and after intervention. Data will be analyzed using SPSS v27, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
Conditions: Plantar Fascia
Interventions: Low Dye Taping, Calcaneal Taping
