Recruiting studies
- NCT05154253RecruitingPhase 1
Improving ankle push-off in children with cerebral palsy
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–21 - NCT05089890Recruiting
Sorbact dressings for hard-to-heal wounds
This trial tests a type of dressing that helps clean and heal wounds that have not improved for at least six weeks. The dressings are designed to trap and remove bacteria, which may help your wound heal faster.
MölndalAges 18 years+ - NCT05075005Recruiting
Study tests foot muscle effects of different walking surfaces
This study compares how different walking surfaces affect foot muscle activity in people with plantar fasciitis and in healthy adults. It’s aimed at better understanding what changes happen in the foot and how terrain might influence symptoms and muscle function.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT04822558Recruiting
3D foot scan after reconstructive ankle and foot surgery
This trial tests whether a detailed 3D foot model (made from measurements/scans) can better predict outcomes after certain reconstructive ankle and foot surgeries. You may be able to join if you’re already scheduled for one of these surgeries and can meet walking and measurement requirements.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT04575688Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Nerve-block injection options for ankle or heel surgery
This trial compares two methods of numbing pain—an injection near the joint versus a nerve block—during ankle or hindfoot surgery. It aims to see which approach helps with comfort and recovery after surgery.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18–80 - NCT04547348RecruitingPhase 3
Denosumab for healing an acute Charcot foot in diabetes
This Phase 3 trial tests whether denosumab can improve healing and outcomes for people with an acute Charcot foot caused by diabetes-related nerve problems. You may be able to join if your Charcot foot is recently diagnosed and you meet specific safety and lab requirements.
AalborgAges 18–80 - NCT04441983Recruiting
High-resolution foot MRI trial for patients and volunteers
This trial uses a powerful 7T MRI scanner to get detailed images of the foot and extremities. It includes patients with specific conditions (like Morton neuroma or tendon tears) and healthy volunteers, aiming to understand normal and diseased tissue better.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04460573RecruitingPhase 2
Using a smart boot to improve diabetic foot offloading
This trial studies whether a special “smart boot” can help people with diabetic foot ulcers rest (offload) the affected foot as they should. Better offloading may improve healing by reducing pressure on the wound.
Downey, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03857945Recruiting
Training to prevent falls after foot or ankle surgery
This trial studies whether teaching people to use mobility devices before surgery can lower the chance of falling afterward. It’s for adults having planned (elective) one-sided foot or ankle surgery and who will need limited walking after surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for foot?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 273 recruiting foot 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 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 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.
