Conditions

Metatarsalgia

Brief summary

Aim of this study is to evaluate the decrease of plantar pain of forefeet due to restoration of plantar pad tissue density and of cushioning function with an hyaluronic acid dermal filler as mechanical-supplementation in subjects with metatarsalgia further use of high heel shoes

Detailed description

This will be an open and single center study. There will be 4 study visits in total for each subject. Each subject will participate for a period of maximum 6 months.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain assessment (Time to onset of pain (TInitial) (in hours)Subject questioning at baseline after injections and change from baseline 1 month after baselineTime to onset of pain (TInitial) (in hours): duration between beginning of wearing high heel shoes and first pain sensations
Pain assessment (Time to maximum pain tolerance (TEnd)Subject questioning at baseline after injections and change from baseline 1 month after baseline(in hours): duration between first pain sensations and the maximal pain tolerance (removing shoes).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Podiatric criteriaChange from baseline 6 months after baselineBaro Podometric static examinations assessed by podiatrist at Baseline, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after baseline to measure: \- Mean pressure under metatarsal heads
