First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether repetitive magnetic stimulation of foot muscles can improve arch height and strength in adults with flat feet. Thirty participants aged 18-50 will receive stimulation three times a week for 12 weeks, while a control group gets no treatment. Researchers will measure changes in foot arch and muscle function over time.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) device

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to strengthen foot muscles and improve arch height in people with flat feet.

What could go wrong

This is a small early-stage study with only 30 participants. The control group receives no stimulation, so results may be limited. It is not a cure and may not work for everyone.
