Exercise programs for hallux valgus (bunions)
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares different exercise programs to see which one works best for people with bunions (a bump on the side of the big toe). If you have a mild or moderate bunion that is still flexible, this could help you find the best way to relieve pain and improve foot function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a bunion (hallux valgus) that has been confirmed as mild or moderate by an X-ray.
- Your bunion is flexible, meaning your big toe can be moved back into a straight position.
- You have no serious medical conditions like neurological or systemic diseases, dementia, or spinal problems.
- You have not had any surgery, injury, or treatment on your legs or feet in the last 6 months.

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.
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.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how stiff the tendon in front of your ankle is, comparing people with bunions to those without. It aims to learn how bunions affect this tendon, which could help improve treatments.
This study tests whether wearing custom shoe inserts (orthoses) can reduce pain from bunions (hallux valgus) during walking and daily activities. Participants will wear the inserts in their shoes for the study period.
This study tests two different hand-on treatments for the big toe to see how they affect the pressure under your foot when you stand or walk. One treatment involves moving and stretching the joint, and the other is a 'sham' version that feels similar but is not the real treatment.
This study looks at how a long walk affects people with hallux valgus (a bunion). If you join, you'll walk for a while and the researchers will watch how your foot responds, which could help them understand better ways to manage bunions.
