Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have no significant medical history or examination findings related to the foot to be treated, which in the investigator's opinion, would make the participant unsuitable for study intervention administration.
  • Have a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis for ≥6 months, which has not responded to conservative therapies. Conservative therapies may include rest, physical therapy, splinting/bracing, orthotics, icing, physiotherapy, acetaminophen, corticosteroids, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
  • Have current foot pain due to plantar fasciitis.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has any musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, neurosensory, other neurological or related disorder that affects the participant's use of his/her feet and/or would impair his/her completion of study assessments as determined by the investigator either due to the disorder or due to pain.
  • Has a clinically meaningful laboratory abnormality.
  • Has a body mass index ≥35 kilograms per meter squared (kg/m^2).
  • Has a known bleeding disorder, which, in the investigator's opinion, would make the participant unsuitable for enrollment in the study.
