triamcinolone hexacetonide + lidocaine

This pharmacological intervention consists of a combination of **triamcinolone hexacetonide**, a potent synthetic glucocorticoid, and **lidocaine**, a local anesthetic. Triamcinolone hexacetonide is utilized for its long-acting anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties, which help reduce tissue swelling and pain at the site of injection. Lidocaine provides immediate, short-term analgesia by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, thereby inhibiting the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses. In the context of clinical research at **Aalborg University**, this combination is administered via ultrasound-guided injection to the calcaneal insertion of the plantar fascia. It is being evaluated as part of a multimodal treatment strategy for **plantar fasciopathy**, often combined with heavy-slow resistance training (HSR) to address both immediate pain relief and long-term structural rehabilitation.
