Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

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.
