Abstract:
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes severe pain and biomechanical changes in the plantar fascia, resulting in disability. Despite
conservative treatments, many cases do not improve and require surgery, being a leading cause of disability and military casualties.
Proposal: This study evaluated the impact of percutaneous electrolysis (PE) technique versus ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation
(EPN) on pain intensity and satisfaction in the treatment of plantar fasciitis in military subjects.
Methodology: A clinical trial was conducted with two groups: group 1 (EP, n=34) and group 2 (EPN, n=33), at the “Central Military Hospital of
Peru”.
Results: The intensity of pain due to plantar fasciitis, measured with the VAS test, decreased in both groups (p 0.001), and in comparison
between groups, EP achieved a greater reduction in pain than the EPN technique (p = 0.023); in the variable satisfaction, with respect to the
treatment, both groups presented better satisfaction (z’s 1.96); in comparison between groups, EP presented better satisfaction than EPN (p= 0.030).
Conclusion: The study shows that both EP and EPN are effective in reducing pain and increasing satisfaction in military subjects with plantar
fasciitis. Although EP causes greater pain during treatment, the results indicate that it offers greater satisfaction and overall efficacy compared
to EPN
