Brace comparison for children with relapsed clubfoot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a modified version of the Denis Brawn brace works better than the original for treating relapsed clubfoot in young children who were previously treated with the Ponseti casting method.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two ways of treating club foot (a condition where a baby's foot is twisted inward at birth) using casts: a faster method and the traditional method. It will measure which approach works better using X-rays to see how well the foot straightens.
This study compares two types of sticky bandage (Mastisol vs. standard) used during Ponseti casting for babies with clubfoot in both feet. It aims to see which one works better for keeping the casts on and preventing skin problems.
This study compares two types of ankle-foot braces (orthoses) to see which one helps kids with cerebral palsy move better, feel more comfortable, and take part in daily activities. Families will get help understanding their child's mobility options.
This study compares two ways to treat clubfoot in babies: one using the French method alone, and the other adding a brace. It aims to see which approach helps better without surgery.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for a child's broken thigh bone: a special leg cast (spica cast) versus a removable brace. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and satisfaction for the family, and which costs less.
This study compares two surgical methods to correct a remaining inward curve of the front part of the foot in children who have already been treated for clubfoot. The goal is to find which surgery gives better results.
