Optimizing insoles for rheumatoid arthritis patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether custom-fit insoles can improve foot pain and walking for people with rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to find the best insole design for each patient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis using standard criteria.
- Your arthritis is currently at a low level of activity (DAS28 score of 3.2 or below).
- You have pain in the front part of your foot when walking that gets better with orthotic inserts or special insoles.
- You are able to have a bone scan (no medical reasons preventing it).
- You do not have a neurological condition that affects your walking, like a stroke or Parkinson's disease.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in a protected legal situation (such as being hospitalized without consent).

This study tests whether shoe insoles can help people with knee osteoarthritis. You might be eligible if you have had knee pain for at least 6 months, your pain is at least moderate, and you also have pain in the same foot.
This study tests whether special textured insoles can improve balance, walking, and foot pressure in older adults with knee arthritis. If you join, you may use the insoles during daily activities to see if they help you feel steadier and more comfortable.
This trial tests custom 3D-printed insoles to see if they improve foot pressure and comfort in people with foot deformities like flat feet or bunions. If you have a foot deformity and can wear insoles daily, this study may help you walk more comfortably.
This study tests if a home-based exercise program, combined with anti-inflammatory strategies, can help people newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis manage their symptoms and improve health. It's a remote program, so you can participate from home.
This study uses a smart shoe insert to measure how children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) or Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) walk. It aims to understand how these conditions affect movement, which could help doctors better manage symptoms.
This study tests whether special shoe inserts (wedged on one side) can improve how your knee moves and how your leg muscles work when you walk and run. Researchers will measure your movement, muscle activity, and forces on your knee to see if these inserts help.
