PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHIES

This study tests a wearable device called Walkasins that may help people with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) feel where their feet are on the ground, improving balance and walking. Researchers will compare 200 adults aged 55+ who use the device daily for six months to a con…

This study tests whether a 12-week online tai chi program is practical and helpful for cancer survivors who have nerve damage and balance problems from chemotherapy. About 21 adults who finished chemo at least 3 months ago will join virtual tai chi classes. The goal is to see if …

This study looks at why people with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (a rare blood cancer) often develop nerve damage, causing pain, numbness, and trouble moving. Researchers will examine 90 adults with symptoms to find the exact cause and see if early treatment can prevent lastin…

This study aims to find out if things in the environment, like heavy metals from gold mining, certain viruses, or traditional plant remedies, are linked to nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) in French Guiana. Researchers will compare 78 people with and without nerve damage to s…

This study checks whether a common nerve test called needle EMG is safe for people taking blood thinners (DOACs). About 30 minutes after the test, researchers use ultrasound to look for small muscle bleeds (hematomas) where the needle went in. The goal is to see if the risk of bl…

This study aims to find better ways to detect and track ALS early by studying nerve tissue and blood from 400 people with ALS or related nerve conditions. Researchers will use advanced techniques to identify molecular changes that happen before symptoms worsen. The goal is to dis…
