Walking study for people with hammertoe and nerve damage
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how different treatments affect walking in people with hammertoe and nerve damage in their feet. It may help find better ways to improve foot function and comfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have nerve damage in both feet that affects feeling (sensory neuropathy).
- You have a hammertoe or claw toe deformity (toes that curl or bend abnormally).
- You do not have other serious foot problems like ulcers, infections, or recent foot surgery.
- You are able to walk without help from another person.
- You do not have severe arthritis, blood vessel disease, or a condition called Charcot foot.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests pins made of a special magnesium alloy that may dissolve over time, which could avoid the need for a second surgery to remove them. It is for people having surgery to fix a hammertoe, a condition where a toe bends downward like a claw.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
This study looks at how CMT affects walking, balance, and movement. It compares two groups of people with CMT: those who use an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) and those who have had surgery to correct a foot deformity. The goal is to understand which approach works better for improving mobility.
This trial tests an investigational treatment called KN3835 for flexible or semi-flexible hammertoe, a condition where one of your toe joints bends downward. The treatment is given as an injection and may help straighten the toe and reduce pain.
This study checks the long-term safety of a treatment called KN3835 for people who had hammertoe. It is for those who already finished a previous study and want to see if the treatment remains safe over time.
This study looks at how changing the heel height and stiffness of an AFO (a brace you wear on your lower leg/foot) changes your walking pattern. The goal is to learn which brace settings may improve comfort and walking.
