Because of this, many users find less morning pain in the heel area.

In an open retrospective study in the treatment of plantar fasciitis, the effects of an additional treatment, to the standard regime, was investigated. In the study 71 patients were dedicated to use a gastrocnemius soleus stretching regime and 89 patiens used a prefabricated night splint.
The study showed that the night splint group had significant shorter recovery time, fewer re-visits until recovery and less other interventions compared to the stretching group.
