PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHIES

This study tests whether a 12-week online tai chi program is practical and helpful for cancer survivors who have nerve damage from chemotherapy. About 21 adults who finished chemo at least 3 months ago and have balance issues or numbness will try the program from home. The goal i…

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…
