Is there any cure for foot drop?

Yes: If from peroneal nerve compression, it often resolves on its own over time. In some cases surgical decompression (of either the peroneal nerve or L5 nerve root) may help considerably. If all else fails, there are devices that will stimulate the foot dorsiflxion muscles..

Depends: Why you have it. If there is a nerve compression releasing the compression can solve the issue. If from a stroke - aggressive physical therapy (maybe with stimulation etc) and it may improve slightly.
