Official Title: Ultrasound-guided Pulsed Radiofrequency Stimulation of the Tibial Nerve for Plantar Fasciitis

Brief Summary: Although there are many conservative method for plantar fasciitis, patients might spend 2 years to achieve resolution. Recent study have shown that pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) lesioning of peripheral nerve can alleviate kinds of pain condition. However there are no studies of PRF lesioning of the tibial nerve in patients with plantar fascilitis by using ultrasound-guided (UG) techniques.
