Understanding Cavovarus Foot Deformity in Nerve Disorders
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study examines how nerve disorders like Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease cause a specific type of foot deformity (cavovarus feet, where the foot has a high arch and turned-in appearance). Researchers will either examine you directly or review your existing medical records to better understand this condition and how it affects people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have been diagnosed with cavovarus foot deformity (high arch, turned-in foot) AND Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or a similar hereditary nerve disorder
- You are currently receiving care at the Foot & Ankle Unit at Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (RNOH)
- You have not had previous surgery on your hindfoot or midfoot (the middle and back parts of your foot)
- You are able to provide written consent (for the live examination part) or have sufficient medical records available (for the records review part)

This study looks at what affects changes in quality of life in people with diabetes who have a long-term, wound-free Charcot foot. It may help doctors understand what matters most for day-to-day wellbeing in this condition.
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 study examines a specific foot surgery (subtalar arthrodesis with a bone block) designed to correct progressive collapsing foot deformity. Researchers will use advanced imaging to measure how well the surgery corrects the foot's alignment and function.
This study compares three non-surgical treatments to find which works best for people with a progressive collapsing foot deformity (a condition where the foot's arch falls and the foot rolls inward). It looks at whether these treatments can reduce pain and improve how the foot works.
This study looks at how well surgery works for foot problems like tight heel cords or clubfoot in people with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a condition that causes leg stiffness. It aims to see if surgery can improve walking, reduce pain, and prevent falls.
This study looks at how Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) or related inherited nerve conditions change over time. It may help researchers better understand what to expect and guide future treatments.
