Treating toe ulcers by releasing tight tendons to prevent recurrence
This study looks at whether a minor procedure on a toe (called a flexor tenotomy) can reduce the chance that diabetic toe ulcers come back. It is for adults with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet and have had toe ulcers before.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 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.

Gait retraining for knee osteoarthritis movement patterns
This trial tests whether a structured walking retraining program can improve how your leg moves if you have knee osteoarthritis. It may help reduce strain on your lower body during walking by changing walking technique.

Testing a human tissue wound covering for hard-to-heal ulcers
This study is testing a special wound covering made from donated human tissue (amnion/chorion membrane) to see if it helps heal stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers that haven't improved with standard care. The covering is placed on the wound to help it heal.
Kobe, HyōgoAges Any age - NCT06263439Recruiting
Watching hand, foot, and mouth disease in children
This study simply watches children with hand, foot, and mouth disease or herpangina to learn more about these illnesses. Your child's regular care won't change, and no extra treatments are given.

Measuring foot pressure in diabetic patients with partial foot amputation
This study measures the pressure on the bottom of your foot while walking, which may help design better shoes or insoles for people with partial foot amputations due to diabetes.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT06433648Recruiting
Powered knee study for above-knee amputee walkers
This study looks at how a powered (motorized) prosthetic knee joint affects walking in people with one above-knee amputation. It aims to find out if the powered knee makes walking easier or more natural.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–95 - NCT06581978Recruiting
Early warning for foot health in children
This study looks at the health of children's feet and aims to spot early signs of foot problems. It may help guide how to prevent issues like flat feet.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 6–18 - NCT07720700Recruiting
Foot orthoses and walking in people with ataxia
This study tests if special shoe inserts (foot orthoses) can help improve walking in people with ataxia. You may qualify if you have trouble with balance or coordination while walking.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06639178Recruiting
Cream to prevent hand-foot syndrome from capecitabine in breast cancer
This trial tests whether a special cream containing N-acetylcysteine and urea can prevent the painful hand-foot syndrome often caused by the chemotherapy drug capecitabine. If you have breast cancer and are about to start capecitabine, this study may help reduce side effects.
Aviano, PordenoneAges 18 years+ - NCT07688876Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for long-term heel pain
This trial tests two minimally invasive procedures—pulsed radiofrequency and a dextrose injection—to see which better relieves chronic heel pain from plantar fasciitis that hasn't improved with other treatments.
AnkaraAges 18–70 - NCT07696728Recruiting
Pulsed magnetic field therapy for diabetic foot ulcer sensation
This trial tests whether a painless pulsed electromagnetic field treatment can improve feeling in diabetic foot ulcers. It is designed for people with type 2 diabetes who have had a foot ulcer for a while and have lost some sensation due to nerve damage.
Faisalabad, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT06078371Recruiting
Opioid-free pain treatment after broken bone surgery
This study compares standard pain treatment using opioids to a new opioid-free pain block for people who had surgery for broken bones. The goal is to find safer, non-addictive ways to manage pain after trauma.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06665607Recruiting
Foot muscle training for people with MS
This study tests whether training the small muscles in your feet can improve your walking and balance if you have multiple sclerosis (MS). It is for people with moderate disability, so you can still walk but may have some trouble.
ValladolidAges 18–70 - NCT07666828Recruiting
Electrical foot pad study for leg health in healthy adults

Understanding Cavovarus Foot Deformity in Nerve Disorders
This study examines how nerve disorders like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease cause a specific type of foot deformity (cavovarus feet, where the foot has a high arch and turned-in appearance). Researchers will either examine you directly or review your existing medical records to better understand this condition and how it affects people.
StanmoreAges 18 years+ - NCT06693180Recruiting
