147 patients with a diagnosis of plantar fasciities were randomized to injection therapy with either 40mg of micronized dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane (dHACM) in 1mL saline or to placebo saline alone. In addition to injection, all patients were managed with orthoses for 2 weeks after injection. Patients were assessed primarily for change in visual analog pain score (VAS pain) from baseline to 3 months post-injection. Results demonstrated a significantly greater reduction in VAS pain score in the micronized dHACM injection group compared to the placebo injection group.
