Bunion surgery study: does a tourniquet make recovery worse?
NCT ID NCT06680518
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether using a tourniquet during bunion surgery changes how much pain and swelling patients have afterward. Forty-four adults having both feet operated on the same day will be their own controls—one foot gets a tourniquet, the other does not. Researchers will measure pain during the first week and check for swelling and complications at 10 days.
