Recruiting studies
- NCT07592221Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation for Foot Drop After Stroke
This study tests a combination of two types of electrical stimulation to help improve foot drop (difficulty lifting your foot when walking) in people who've had a stroke. The goal is to help you walk more naturally and safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04934787Recruiting
Balance-feedback ankle rehab after stroke
This trial tests an ankle-foot exercise and training program that gives you balance feedback to improve walking after stroke. It may help reduce foot drop and improve balance and safe walking.
Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT07360418Recruiting
Follow-up study for healed diabetic foot ulcers
This trial checks if diabetic foot ulcers that healed during an earlier study stay closed over time. You can join only if your ulcer fully healed in that previous trial.
Clinton Township, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04594837Recruiting
Robotic ankle device therapy after stroke-related foot drop
This study tests a robotic ankle device to help improve walking in people after a stroke who still have foot drop (the foot doesn’t lift well). It may help strengthen or retrain walking patterns during recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07568470Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new sign for foot drop nerve problems
This trial tests whether a simple physical exam sign (the Phoenix Sign) can help diagnose a specific nerve problem that causes foot drop. Researchers will use a safe sugar solution to see if this sign appears.
Marietta, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT07576504Recruiting
Physical therapy technique for flat feet in children
This study tests whether a special movement-based technique can help reduce flat feet in school-age children. Flat feet can affect how kids walk and play, and this therapy may help improve foot arch height.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 7–12

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for foot drop?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 6 recruiting foot drop 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 foot drop 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 foot drop 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.
