- NCT06114043Recruiting
Surgery vs. non-surgery for mild to moderate bunion pain
This trial compares two approaches for treating mild-to-moderate bunion pain: surgery versus non-surgical options like wearing wider shoes, toe spacers, or physical therapy. The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving daily life.
SarpsborgAges 18–80 - NCT07653828Recruiting
Self-rehab after foot surgery via app
This trial tests if using a connected app to do self-guided rehab at home helps people recover better after bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. It may offer a convenient way to follow your exercises and track progress.
Saint-JeanAges 18–85 - NCT04851249Recruiting
Predictors of outcomes after bunion surgery
This study asks people having bunion (hallux valgus) surgery to provide information so researchers can better predict which results are most likely after surgery. It may help improve care for future patients by identifying factors linked to better or worse outcomes.
Sarpsborg, Østfold fylkeAges 18 years+ - NCT05880407Recruiting
Minimally invasive procedure to correct bunion alignment
This pilot study tests a minimally invasive (through small skin openings) correction to improve the alignment of a bunion (hallux valgus). It may help people who are already being advised to have bunion surgery, but who fit specific bone alignment measurements and safety criteria.
BolognaAges 18–65 - NCT06541119Recruiting
Strengthening a leg muscle for bunion pain and function
This study tests whether strengthening a specific muscle on the outside of your lower leg can help reduce pain, improve foot alignment, and make it easier to walk and do daily activities if you have a bunion (hallux valgus).
GizaAges 18–60 - NCT07344077Recruiting
One vs two wires for severe bunion surgery
This trial compares two ways of fixing the bone after bunion surgery (using one or two small wires). It's for people with severe bunions who haven't gotten better with non-surgical treatments.
Chon Buri, Changwat Chon BuriAges 18–60 - NCT04716140Recruiting
Study of outcomes after bunion surgery for cartilage damage
This study looks at how well bunion (hallux valgus) surgery works, especially when there is cartilage damage in the joint. The goal is to see what factors predict better or worse outcomes after treatment.
GhentAges 30–60 - NCT05534724Recruiting
Compare early vs partial weight bearing after bunion surgery
This study compares whether it’s safer to put weight on your foot early versus only partly after bunion surgery. It may help your care team choose the best recovery plan for healing and comfort.
LuganoAges 18–85 - NCT06680518Recruiting
Tourniquet use during bunion surgery
This trial studies whether using a tourniquet (a tight band to control bleeding) during bunion surgery affects recovery. If you're having both feet corrected on the same day, this study may help doctors decide the best way to do the surgery.
Saint-Jean-de-VédasAges 18 years+ - NCT07267156Recruiting
New Dressing After Bunion Surgery
This study tests a new type of bandage or dressing used after bunion (hallux valgus) surgery. It aims to see if this dressing works better than the usual dressing to help your foot heal.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06874517Recruiting
Foot shape and big toe angle study
This study looks at whether the length of your second toe relates to a condition called hallux valgus (a bunion, where the big toe angles toward the other toes). Researchers will measure foot X-rays to compare two common foot shapes: Greek foot (longer second toe) and Egyptian foot (shorter second toe).
Istanbul, BeylikdüzüAges 60–80 - NCT07538141Recruiting
Hyalex implant for big toe joint arthritis
This trial tests a special implant designed to repair damage and arthritis in the big toe joint. If you have moderate-to-severe big toe pain and aren't helped by other treatments, this surgery may reduce pain and improve movement.
LodzAges 21–75 - NCT05587569Recruiting
Foot surgery outcomes study for bunion and forefoot alignment
This trial studies results after a combined bunion and forefoot alignment surgery to improve foot shape and function. It may help people whose foot angles show significant bunion and front-of-foot deformity.
Greeley, ColoradoAges 14–65 - NCT07036120Recruiting
How Inserts and Exercises Affect Bunions and Your Legs
This study looks at how wearing special shoe inserts or doing specific exercises can correct bunions and affect your legs. It may help if you have bunions on both feet and are between 18 and 45 years old.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–45 - NCT04715139Recruiting
Testing safety of specific foot and ankle implants
This study follows people who get certain Arthrex foot and ankle implants to check how safely they heal and work over time. It may help your care team by adding long-term information about these devices.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 2 years+ - NCT04473196Recruiting
See if weight-bearing changes recovery after first toe joint fusion
This study looks at whether doing more or less weight-bearing affects recovery after a first toe (1st MTP) joint fusion. It may help improve walking comfort and healing after surgery for people whose non-surgical treatments did not work.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07567092Recruiting
VIRTUGUIDE System for Bunion Foot Surgery
This study tests a new computer-guided system to help surgeons perform bunion correction surgery (called a Lapidus procedure) more accurately. Participants will receive this guided surgery along with a standard implant, and researchers will track how well the surgery works and how patients recover.
Virginia Beach, VirginiaAges 22 years+ - NCT06185608Recruiting
Ropivacaine strength and effect in ankle block for foot surgery
This study tests different strengths of a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) used in an ankle block for foot surgery. The goal is to find the best dose that starts working quickly and lasts the right amount of time for pain relief after bunion repair.
Genk, LimburgAges 18–75 - NCT07574385RecruitingPhase 2
Nerve Block Pain Relief After Bunion Surgery
This study tests a new nerve-blocking medication (ALX006) injected near the sciatic nerve to reduce pain after bunion surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain relief compared to standard care.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting hallux valgus 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 hallux valgus 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 hallux valgus 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.
