We’re seeking patients with bunions for a non-surgical research study.
You do not need to be a patient of UFAI to participate. There is no cost to participate in the study.
Persons who participate in this clinical trial will be helping evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a study medication compared with placebo (no active ingredients). The medicine is given by injection, in adults ages 18 years or older with hallux abducto valgus (HAV). Or, more commonly called, a bunion!
What’s learned from this study may assist those with bunions in the future.
