Acquired peripheral neuropathy

This study tests if a new drug, empasiprubart, works as well as standard IVIg treatment for adults with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), a condition that causes muscle weakness. About 154 people who have responded to IVIg in the past will be randomly assigned to receive either …

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug zanubrutinib, combined with standard rituximab, can improve nerve damage and disability in people with a rare blood condition called IgM MGUS. The study includes 35 adults across two Dutch hospitals. Participants take zanubrutinib daily f…

This study is a long-term follow-up for people with multifocal motor neuropathy, a rare condition that causes muscle weakness. It tests the safety and effectiveness of a drug called ARGX-117, given intravenously. The trial includes 51 adults who previously took part in an earlier…

This study tests whether two devices, used one after the other, can reduce pain and disability from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Adults aged 22 and older with TMJ pain will receive four treatment sessions and be followed for three months. Researchers will measure chan…

This study tests whether photobiomodulation (low-level laser therapy) can reduce pain and disability in people with anti-MAG neuropathy, a rare nerve condition. Ten participants will receive 16 laser sessions over six weeks. Researchers will measure changes in disability, pain, a…

This study tests a self-guided web program called Face-Forward-Web for adults with chronic orofacial pain (lasting over 3 months). The program includes five 30-minute video sessions teaching relaxation, mindfulness, and coping skills. Researchers will enroll up to 30 participants…

This study compares a 6-month physiotherapy program focused on pelvic floor relaxation to no structured exercise in women with pudendal neuralgia, a chronic pelvic pain condition. Researchers will measure muscle stiffness using ultrasound and track symptoms like pain and sexual d…

This study tests whether repeated magnetic pulses (rTMS) aimed at the brain's motor area can safely reduce chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. About 32 adults with conditions like post-stroke pain, trigeminal neuralgia, or spinal cord injury will receive…

This early-phase study tests whether MRI-guided focused ultrasound can safely reduce severe facial pain in people with trigeminal neuralgia that hasn't responded to medication. Ten adults aged 21-75 with chronic pain for over 6 months will receive a precise ultrasound treatment t…

This study tests a daily drug called basimglurant for adults with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition causing severe facial pain often called the 'suicide disease.' The trial includes 166 people who still have pain despite current treatments. After an 8-week run-in on the drug, par…

This small study tests whether eptinezumab, a drug used for migraines, can reduce pain in people with atypical facial pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. Ten participants will receive two intravenous infusions three months apart. The main goal is to see if the drug im…

This study compares carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine, two drugs used to treat trigeminal neuralgia, a condition causing severe facial pain. Researchers will enroll 122 adults aged 18-60 who have had the condition for at least two weeks. They will measure pain relief using a standa…

This study tests a precise radiation treatment for trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe facial pain. Instead of a metal frame screwed into the skull, a special face mask holds the head still while x-rays target the painful nerve. The trial includes 40 adults whose…

This study treated one 58-year-old man with polyneuropathy caused by POEMS syndrome using his own fat-derived stem cells. He received eight infusions over 28 weeks to try to relieve nerve symptoms. The study is no longer available and was not a formal clinical trial.

This study follows about 413 adults with multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) over time to learn how the disease progresses and affects daily life. Researchers will collect information on symptoms, quality of life, and healthcare use during regular doctor visits. No experimental tre…

This study looks at people with trigeminal neuralgia, a condition that causes severe facial pain. Researchers want to see if adding virtual reality (VR) training before Gamma Knife surgery can improve pain relief. They will also use artificial intelligence (AI) and brain scans to…

This study aimed to find out how many people with trigeminal neuralgia (a severe facial nerve pain condition) also have temporomandibular disorder (TMD), which causes jaw pain. Researchers planned to follow patients from three clinics and test a questionnaire to better diagnose b…
