Hands-on treatments for big toe bunion and foot pressure
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.

- You have not had any foot or ankle surgery in the last 6 months.
- You do not have any neurological (nerve) or psychiatric (mental health) conditions.

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 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.
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).
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.
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.
This study checks how your foot size and shape change after a common bunion surgery called Scarf + P1 osteotomy. It uses a safe 3D scanner to measure your foot before and after surgery, and may help understand what to expect after the procedure.
