Effectiveness of Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Versus Conventional Therapy in Adults with Plantar Fasciitis

Background: Plantar Fasciitis is a degenerative condition of the heel. Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulationand conventional therapy was used as intervention treatment for heel pain.Purpose: The Purpose of this was to compare the efficacy of Pens and Conventional therapy in management ofplantar fasciitis.Materials and Methods: The experimental and control groups included 30 young males and females who wererandomly assigned to each group. The experimental group patients underwent Pens and conventional groupunderwent ultrasound treatment, plantar stretch, and exercise. Before and after four -week sessions of therapyeach participant was asked to score their morning pace using a numerical rating scale and functional foot indexas outcome measures.Result: The experimental group showed a substantial difference compared to the conventional group (p <0.0001),indicating a statistically significant outcome. When comparing both groups there was a statistically significantdifference after intervention.Conclusion: Patients treated for heel pain reacted well to the conventional strategy used in this study, but Pensfollowed by active stretching dramatically reduced pain severity and improved the quality of foot function.
