Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Nervous System Diseases"

This pilot clinical trial studies how well ultrasound works in detecting oxaliplatin-induced neuropathy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Ultrasound may work better in diagnosing and detecting neuropathy in gastrointestinal cancer patients treated with the chemotherapy drug called a oxaliplatin.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the role of peripheral afferent input for spontaneous pain in painful diabetic polyneuropathy

Vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy, which is commonly a sensorimotor neuropathy, remains a major complication of lymphoma patients treated with R-CHOP. The investigators propose a clinical, electrophysiological and biological follow up of patients treated by vincristine for lymphoma to determine the factors implied in VIPN occurrence.

The aim of the project is to create a new, non-invasive and safe protocol for the early diagnosis of various types of optic neuropathies with the use of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging

A prospective, randomized, controlled study will be conducted at Department of Endocrinology, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, assessing the efficacy of Ambroxol addition on the clinical outcome and inflammatory markers in Diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients

Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect in breast cancer patients with completion of chemotherapy, and that is characterized by associated clinical symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and paresthesia etc. CIPN also interferes with patients' functions of daily living and leads to chronic functional decline and a reduced quality of life. Meridian yoga is beneficial to the treatment of patients with peripheral neuropathy and the improvement of their quality of life.

The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact on the health-related quality of life of patients with refractory symptoms, who have been referred to the HUGCDN Chronic Pain Unit for adjuvant palliative treatment with ozone therapy between June-2022 and December-2025

This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with peripheral neuropathy receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with peripheral neuropathy receiving paclitaxel for breast cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to peripheral neuropathy.

If the classification between hereditary and acquired neuropathy is often easy, there is no completely specific marker allowing the distinction between the two etiologies. Clinical experience suggests that hereditary neuropathies have less impact on balance and gait than the acquired neuropathies at equivalent level of impairment, but this has never been clearly demonstrated.

The purpose of this research study is to test the utility of an ankle robot, when used during treadmill walking, in people with ankle weakness and foot drop from a peripheral nervous system injury due to neuromuscular or orthopedic injury.
