Abstract
Background
In this randomized clinical trial, we compared the early effects of polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PU), and Carbon Fiber insoles in the treatment of PF using a set of patient-reported outcomes.
Methods
Patients were randomly allocated one of the three prefabricated insoles – Carbon Fiber (n = 14), PU (n = 14), or PE (n = 17) for regular use. Their response was recorded using PROMIS 3a (for pain intensity), PROMIS 4a (for pain interference), FAOS (Foot and Ankle Outcome Score), and VAS for pain at baseline, two, six, and twelve weeks.
Results
The PROMIS pain intensity scores improved in both the Carbon Fiber and the PE groups starting at the 6th week (p = 0.04) and 2nd week (p = 0.002), respectively. PROMIS pain interference scores also showed positive trends in these two groups (p = 0.02, p = 0.004, respectively).
Conclusion
Prefabricated Carbon Fiber and PE insoles showed significant pain-reducing effects in patients with PF.
期刊介绍：
Foot and Ankle Surgery is essential reading for everyone interested in the foot and ankle and its disorders. The approach is broad and includes all aspects of the subject from basic science to clinical management. Problems of both children and adults are included, as is trauma and chronic disease. Foot and Ankle Surgery is the official journal of European Foot and Ankle Society.
The aims of this journal are to promote the art and science of ankle and foot surgery, to publish peer-reviewed research articles, to provide regular reviews by acknowledged experts on common problems, and to provide a forum for discussion with letters to the Editors. Reviews of books are also published. Papers are invited for possible publication in Foot and Ankle Surgery on the understanding that the material has not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication in another journal and does not infringe prior copyright.
