The Effect of Acupuncture on Nerve Pain Caused by Taxane (Chemotherapy) Treatment
Breast CancerTaxane-Induced Peripheral NeuropathySome people experience a side effect while they are receiving taxane called taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN). TIPN is pain in the arms and legs due to nerve damage caused by cancer treatment and may interfere with quality of life. The purpose of this study is to learn if acupuncture can prevent TIPN from getting worse. Acupuncture is a medical technique that involves insertion of very thin needles into specific areas on the body. We will compare real acupuncture (RA) to placebo (sham) acupuncture (SA). SA is done like RA, but will use different needles and target different sites or places on the body than RA. We are comparing RA to SA to learn whether RA can prevent TIPN from getting worse while receiving taxane.
Pain and Neurological Function Improvements With 10 kHz Spinal Cord Stimulation Treatment of Painful...
Painful Diabetic NeuropathyThe purpose of this post-market study is to evaluate changes in pain and neurological function with high frequency, 10 kHz spinal cord stimulation (SCS) therapy in patients with chronic, intractable lower limb pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition known as painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN). This is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled study to evaluate improvement in pain and neurological function in PDN patients, with neurological function assessed via objective measures. Patients will be randomized to conventional medical management (CMM) or 10 kHz SCS plus CMM.

Peripheral Nervous System DiseasesThis is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study during which patients will receive ricolinostat or placebo.
Implementation of Telemedicine for Patient With Lower Extremity Wounds
Peripheral Arterial DiseasePeripheral Artery Disease5 moreThe objective of this study is to determine if patients with lower extremity wounds in rural communities who undergo specialty referral through telemedicine have expedited care compared to patients who are treated through standard in person referral.
Stem Cell Ophthalmology Treatment Study II
Retinal DiseaseAge-Related Macular Degeneration17 moreThis study will evaluate the use of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) for the treatment of retinal and optic nerve damage or disease.
Wearable Focal Vibration for Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral NeuropathyThis study will perform an early Phase I feasibility study with single-arm, double-baseline repeated measured design. The investigators will test the feasibility of using focal vibration to improve symptoms of persistent CIPN.
EPPIC-Net: Platform Protocol to Assess Treatments for Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Painful Diabetic NeuropathyThis is a Platform Protocol to perform Phase II clinical trials in The Early Phase Pain Investigation Clinical Network (EPPIC-Net), under The Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM Initiative, or NIH HEAL InitiativeSM, related to the treatment of Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (PDPN) in a platform setting to test multiple assets under a single protocol.
The Effect of Yoga on Nerve Pain Caused by Chemotherapy (Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy)...
Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral NeuropathyThe purpose of this study is to test whether yoga can reduce nerve pain caused by cancer treatment (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, or CIPN). Participants will take one of three approaches: Yoga classes Educational sessions on the causes and impacts of CIPN, how yoga may help with CIPN, and how different therapies may help with CIPN Usual care with standard-of-care medications for CIPN The researchers will compare how these different approaches affect participants' balance, their risk of falls, and their quality of life. This study will also measure how much yoga can help the reduced sense of touch caused by CIPN. The functional assessments TUG and CTS can be safely completed either virtually and in-person and will be mandatory for all patients. The functional assessment FRT and QST assessments that can only be completed in-person are optional at these time points.
External Shoe Lift to Improve Healing and Adherence in Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Diabetic Foot UlcerPeripheral Neuropathy1 morePrevious researches hipothesize that imposed limb-length discrepancies may discourage adherence in patients with active diabetic foot ulcer and using offloading devices. Our hipothesis is that the use of an external shoe lift contralaterally to the affected foot may improve adherence to offloading devices and improve healing.
Efficacy of NAC for the Prevention and Relief of PIPN in Women With Ovarian, Tubal, and Peritoneal...
Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral NeuropathyOvarian cancer is third most common gynecologic cancer in Thai woman, treatment including surgery followed by chemotherapy. Patient usually received paclitaxel every 3 week for 6 cycles, paclitaxel induce peripheral neuropathy is common dose dependent side effect which can disturb quality of life, result in chemotherapy dose reduction or discontinuation leading to poor prognosis and decreased survival Mechanism of PIPN including inflammation, promotion of microtubule polymerization and inhibition of depolymerization, and oxidative stress N-acetylcysteine is acetylated form of l-cysteine, might reduce oxidative stress. NAC can restore glutathione level, which is potent natural antioxidant. NAC might reduce PIPN
