Recruiting studies
- NCT06868316Recruiting
Sound-guided walking training for chronic ankle instability
This study tests whether using sound cues while walking can improve balance and ankle stability in people with chronic ankle instability. You may be eligible if you have had repeated ankle sprains and a feeling of your ankle "giving way" in the last 6 months.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–45 - NCT06499935Recruiting
Taping for ankle instability in athletes
This study tests whether taping can change how pressure is distributed on your foot while playing sports. It may help if you have long-term ankle instability from past sprains.
BeirutAges 18–28 - NCT06780202RecruitingPhase 2
Steroid to reduce opioid use after foot/ankle surgery
This study tests whether a steroid medicine called Medrol Dosepak can help reduce the need for opioid painkillers after foot or ankle surgery. If you are having foot or ankle surgery at Emory and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–95 - NCT07335133Recruiting
Recovery from ankle arthroscopy surgery
This trial studies how patients recover after ankle arthroscopy (a minimally invasive surgery to look inside the ankle joint). It may help doctors learn what to expect during recovery.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07470021Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief after ankle surgery
This study tests whether a numbing injection around the ankle nerves before surgery can reduce pain and help you recover faster after ankle arthroscopy. It is for people having this keyhole surgery and staying in the hospital for a short time.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT06898554Recruiting
Understanding Ankle Control in Athletes with Unstable Ankles
This trial studies how your brain and spinal cord control your ankle if you have chronic ankle instability (a long-term wobbly ankle). It is for athletes between 18 and 25 who play team sports and have had repeated ankle sprains.
IstanbulAges 18–25 - NCT07219095Recruiting
Dance Mental Health App for Injured Teens
This trial tests a mental health app (SuperBetter) for teens who dance and have a leg injury. It aims to help them cope and stay positive while recovering.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 13–18 - NCT04999904Recruiting
Balance training on uneven treadmill for unstable ankles
This study tests a special balance and movement training program on an uneven treadmill to improve ankle stability. It may help people whose ankles “give way” or keep getting sprained, but it requires specific timing after an ankle sprain and the ability to attend sessions for about 6 weeks.
Oceanside, CaliforniaAges 18–49 - NCT06832111Recruiting
Taping for balance and ankle awareness
This study tests whether kinesio taping can improve balance and ankle position sense in healthy young adults. If you are between 18 and 25, have no ankle or knee injuries in the last year, and no chronic health issues, you may qualify.
Istanbul, BüyükçekmeceAges 18–25 - NCT06576687Enrolling by invitation
Brain and nerve study for ankle instability
This study looks at how your brain and nerves control balance if you've had ankle sprains or feel your ankle giving way. Healthy people and those with ankle problems are invited to help researchers understand ankle instability better.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19–45 - NCT05401292RecruitingPhase 4
Skin prep for planned foot and ankle surgery
This trial studies whether a specific skin-prep approach before elective (planned) foot and ankle surgery can help prevent infection. You may be able to take part if your surgery is not for an injury and you meet the age and health requirements.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06930716Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation with physical therapy for consciousness disorders
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve (a nerve in the neck) can help people with long-term disorders of consciousness move better during physical therapy. It may be an option if you are still in a coma, vegetative, or minimally conscious state and have been stable for more than 6 weeks.
New York, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT07401095Recruiting
BioBrace for Arthroscopic Ankle Ligament Repair
This trial is for people who need a first-time arthroscopic Brostrom repair to fix a loose ankle ligament. It uses a special material called BioBrace to help the repair heal better.
Greenfield, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT03643926Recruiting
Arthroscopic vs open surgery for ankle instability
This trial compares two surgical approaches to treat ongoing ankle “giving way” or instability. It aims to find which method works better for people whose ankle instability has lasted at least several months.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18–65 - NCT06949826RecruitingPhase 4
Buprenorphine for pain after ankle fracture surgery
This trial tests if buprenorphine, a non-opioid pain medicine, works well for people who have not used opioids before. After ankle fracture surgery, you would get buprenorphine instead of stronger opioids to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06538974Recruiting
Long-term use of an exoskeleton for leg weakness
This trial tests a walking device called an exoskeleton to help people with leg weakness or movement problems. It's designed to see if using the exoskeleton regularly over time can help improve walking or mobility.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05729061Recruiting
Testing movement with mobility assistive devices
This study measures how people move while using assistive devices during guided movement tasks, sometimes on a treadmill. It may help improve these tools and how safely they support different types of movement needs.
Edmonds, WashingtonAges 18–90 - NCT05555459Recruiting
Testing a screw system for foot and ankle surgery
This study checks how safe and well an “Inion CompressOn” screw system works during foot and ankle operations. It may help patients by improving how surgeons fix bones while also collecting safety and recovery information.
TampereAges 18 years+ - NCT05726591Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton study to improve walking in children
This study looks at how safely using a pediatric robotic exoskeleton over the long term can improve how children walk. It’s for children ages 3–17 who have certain movement or spine-related conditions and who can meet walking and joint-movement requirements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–17

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ankle injuries and disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 19 recruiting ankle injuries and disorders studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a ankle injuries and disorders trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a ankle injuries and disorders trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
