PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

This study is testing whether a special heat therapy device can improve blood flow in the lower legs and feet of veterans. Ten veterans with both poor leg circulation (peripheral artery disease) and nerve damage (neuropathy) will use the device twice daily for three months. Resea…

This study is testing whether a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors more completely diagnose the many complications that can occur with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), such as lung, heart, or thyroid problems. Researchers will give doctors AI-generated predictions a…

This study is testing whether ultrasound imaging of nerves can help doctors diagnose Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) earlier than current methods. Researchers will perform nerve ultrasounds and standard nerve test…

This study is testing if turning an implanted pain relief device on and off in short cycles works better than leaving it on all the time. It will compare two different pulsing speeds in 30 people who already have the device for chronic nerve pain. Each participant will try both p…

This study is testing whether a magnetic stimulation device can reduce chronic nerve pain caused by injuries or surgeries in veterans and active military personnel. Researchers will compare three different versions of the treatment over 5 months to see which works best for pain, …

This study is testing if fenofibrate, a drug usually used for high cholesterol, can help prevent or reduce nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) caused by a standard chemotherapy combination for multiple myeloma. It will involve 44 newly diagnosed patients, with half receiving the s…

This study is testing a non-drug treatment called Scrambler Therapy to see if it can safely reduce pain and improve daily life for adolescents and young adults who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the therapy right away or aft…

This study aims to test if special sensors can reliably measure the forces inside carbon fiber ankle-foot braces (AFOs). Researchers will recruit 60 participants, including healthy adults and people who regularly use AFOs with or without nerve damage. The goal is to gather data t…

This study aims to understand if a hormone called amylin is connected to nerve damage (neuropathy) in people with Type 2 diabetes. Researchers will collect blood and skin samples from 40 participants with diabetes and nerve pain to measure amylin levels. They will then check if h…

This study aims to improve how doctors measure nerve and muscle health using ultrasound. Researchers will scan the nerves and muscles of 150 people, including healthy volunteers and those with conditions like muscular dystrophy. The goal is to gather detailed pictures and measure…

This study aims to learn more about how a rare, inherited nerve disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 4J (CMT4J) changes over time. It will follow 20 people of any age with a confirmed genetic diagnosis for up to two years, checking in annually with exams and tests. The goal is…
