New scoring tool aims to predict clubfoot recurrence in kids
NCT ID NCT06050746
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows 60 children aged 4–10 with clubfoot to see if a new scoring system (PBS-score) can predict whether their foot condition will come back and need extra treatment like casting, braces, or surgery. Researchers will track the children for five years and also ask families about their satisfaction and quality of life. The goal is to find a better way to personalize treatment and avoid unnecessary procedures.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a reliable way to predict which children with clubfoot will need more treatment, helping doctors personalize care and avoid overtreatment.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 60 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The scoring system might not be accurate enough to change current practice.
