NCT ID NCT06050564

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed study involved 55 children with clubfoot who could walk. Researchers showed videos of the children's feet to experienced surgeons and asked for treatment recommendations. The goal was to see if a video-based scoring system (PBS-score) matches what surgeons would recommend. The study did not test any new drug or device, but aimed to improve how treatment decisions are made.

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 help standardize clubfoot treatment decisions based on video assessments, making expert care more accessible remotely.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed observational study with only 55 participants. It does not test a new treatment, so direct patient benefits are not yet proven.
