Polyneuropathy

This trial tests a rehabilitation technique called blood flow restriction training (BFRT) in adults on ventilators who develop ICU-acquired weakness, a condition of severe muscle loss. BFRT uses an inflatable cuff on the upper leg to partially restrict blood flow during low-inten…

This study tests the long-term safety and tolerability of acoramidis, an oral medication that stabilizes the transthyretin protein, in people newly diagnosed with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a condition that can lead to heart failure. Participants who complete…

This trial tests a drug called obinutuzumab β in people with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), a condition where the immune system attacks nerves, causing weakness and numbness. Participants receive two intravenous infusions of the drug and are mon…

This study tests a new medicine called empasiprubart in teenagers aged 12 to 17 who have a rare nerve disease called CIDP. The goal is to find the right dose and see if the drug is safe and helps control the disease. Participants will receive the drug for about 27 months and be f…

This study tests a combination of high-protein supplements, mobility-based physical therapy, and neuromuscular electric stimulation in older adults (60+) who have been in the ICU for at least two weeks and now have muscle weakness. The goal is to see if this approach can improve …

This early-phase trial will test a new treatment called QT-019C in up to 15 adults with relapsed or refractory neurological autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and myasthenia gravis. The treatment uses donor-derived CAR T-cells that target two…

This early-stage study tests a new cell therapy called HY001N in 15 adults with relapsed or treatment-resistant autoimmune neurological diseases like neuromyelitis optica. The main goal is to check safety and side effects, while also looking for signs of improvement in disability…

This study explores whether a painless ultrasound technique, called shear wave elastography, can detect early signs of muscle weakness in critically ill patients on breathing machines. About 98 adults will have their nerves scanned on days 1, 4, and 7 in the ICU. The goal is to s…

This study tests a new way to inject numbing medicine directly into a specific nerve root to find out which nerve is causing back and leg pain. The goal is to see if this method is safer and more accurate than current techniques. About 80 adults with sciatica who are scheduled fo…

This study tests whether a specific type of exercise, called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), can improve trunk control in ICU patients who have developed muscle weakness. About 58 adults who have been in the ICU for at least 48 hours will be randomly assigned to …

This study looks at whether exercise can lessen nerve damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs. About 140 people with colorectal or gynecologic cancer will either exercise or receive usual care. Researchers will measure nerve function, blood markers, and quality of life to see…

This study investigates whether blood levels of irisin, a protein linked to glucose metabolism and nerve protection, differ in people with type 2 diabetes who have diabetic polyneuropathy (nerve damage) compared to those without it and healthy controls. Researchers will measure i…

This study looks at whether a person's age influences the accuracy of a nerve test called the sural-to-radial amplitude ratio (SRAR) in telling apart two types of peripheral neuropathy: length-dependent and non-length-dependent. Researchers will review medical records from about …

This study investigates whether nerve ultrasound patterns and biomarkers in blood and spinal fluid can predict how people with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) respond to treatment. Researchers will follow 30 adults with CIDP, including newly diagnosed and…

This study aims to find blood markers that can predict which cancer patients will develop chronic nerve pain from chemotherapy. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform neurological exams on 192 patients over 6 months. The goal is to use this information to personalize …

This study will follow 1,550 adults with various neurological autoimmune diseases—like multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and autoimmune encephalitis—to see how these conditions progress and respond to treatments in everyday medical practice. Researchers will measure disabili…

This study looks at how two types of peripheral neuropathy—hereditary and inflammatory—affect daily life and well-being. Researchers will ask 60 adults to fill out questionnaires about their functioning, independence, and quality of life. No treatments are given; the goal is to b…
