Abstract：Objective To observe the effects of extracorporeal shock wave combined with draft training on plantar fasciitis. Methods Ninety patients with plantar fasciitis admitted to Rugao People’s Hospital of Jiangsu Province from March 2019 to December 2020 were randomly divided into control group (drafting training) and experimental group (drafting training + extracorporeal shock wave therapy) according to the random number table method, with 45 patients in each group. The patients were treated for 12 weeks continuously. After treatment, the two groups were evaluated for clinical efficacy. Visual analog scale (VAS), American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle function scoring system, and Berg balance scale were used to score the two groups before treatment (T0), 4 weeks after treatment (T4), 8 weeks after treatment (T8), and 12 weeks after treatment (T12). The levels of serum nerve growth factor (NGF) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were compared between the two groups at each time point, and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups was recorded. Results The clinical efficacy of experimental group was better than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). The AOFAS and Breg scores in both groups at T4, T8, and T12 in both groups were higher than those at T0, and VAS score and NGF and PGE2 levels were lower than those at T0. The AOFAS and Breg scores in experimental groups at T4, T8, and T12 were higher than those in control group at the same time points, and VAS score, NGF, and PGE2 levels were lower than those in control group at the same time points, the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). There were no adverse reactions in two groups during treatment. Conclusion Extracorporeal shock wave combined with draft training can improve the effect of plantar fasciitis, and it is safe and reliable.
