French method with or without brace for clubfoot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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 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 foot surgery for children who still have an inward curve of the front of the foot after previous clubfoot treatment. The goal is to find a better way to straighten the foot and improve walking.
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 tests whether special exercises that strengthen the small muscles in your child's foot—with or without visual feedback on a screen—can improve flat feet and balance in children ages 7–12. Flat feet are common in kids and usually improve on their own, but this trial explores whether targeted training helps.
This study looks at treatment for children with clubfoot (a foot that turns inward or upward). If you speak Spanish, the study may be easier to join and could help doctors improve how clubfoot is treated.
This study compares two surgical approaches to lengthen the Achilles tendon (the cord at the back of the heel) in young children with clubfoot—a condition where the foot is twisted inward and downward. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer complications.
