This is a randomized trial showing superiority of radiotherapy over steroid injection for plantar fasciitis pain and function. Interestingly, UpToDate (rheum-authored) recommends steroids and calls radiation experimental and unproven. @drbeckta

Prospective Randomized Comparison of the Effectiveness of Radiation Therapy and Local Steroid...

This study confirms the superior analgesic effect of radiation therapy compared to mean PG steroid injection on plantar fasciitis for at least 6 months after treatment.

@chadinabhan @NEJM I’ll bite. Unsurprising results and (biased) position of editorial. 10% recurrence is high for some patients. Endocrine therapy is brutal for some. I offer these women 5 days of radiotherapy with very few side effects. Obs vs. RT vs. endo will show what is “over treatment”.

The data *is* the data. Some shows protons are the same as photons, some shows side effects are worse. None shows it’s better. If I had to get radiotherapy for prostate cancer, I would not travel to a proton center.

The data is the data. This MD Anderson study clearly demonstrates that protons are a safe and effective treatment with excellent outcomes for localized prostate cancer. Randomized trial data is coming but likely will face standard criticisms as well.
