Summary

This study looks at whether people with flat feet (pes planus) are more likely to have piriformis syndrome, a condition that causes pain in the hip and lower back. Researchers will compare foot posture and pain in adults aged 18-65 who have piriformis syndrome with those who do not. The goal is to better understand any connection between foot structure and this type of pain.

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 a link is found, it could lead to better diagnosis or treatment approaches for piriformis syndrome by addressing foot posture.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to everyone with these conditions.
