Myocardial Effects in Patients With hATTR With Polyneuropathy Treated With Patisiran
Transthyretin AmyloidosisAmyloidosis1 morehATTR amyloidosis is a systemic disease with two clinical forms, neurological and cardiological, which are sometimes combined (so-called mixed forms). Patisiran has shown protective effects on the progression of neurological damage. The effects of Patisiran on the heart remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study is to better understand the morphological and functional cardiac consequences in hATTR patients with stage 1 or 2 polyneuropathy with a mixed form treated with Patisiran.
Paclitaxel-induced Polyneuropathy in Breast Cancer: Early Detection, Risk Factors, Quality of Life...
Breast NeoplasmsBreast Cancer6 moreThis is a single center prospective observational cohort study that aims to: examine and identify possible risk and susceptibility factors for the incidence and progression of chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy (CIPN) in female patients primarily operated for early non-metastatic breast cancer who will receive adjuvant chemotherapy containing paclitaxel test different neurophysiological methods for early detection of CIPN explore changes that underlie the development of CIPN in relation to clinical presentations, neurophysiological assessment, including measures of small nerve fiber dysfunction, and possible biochemical, metabolic and genetic associations explore the effects of CIPN in the patient's lifestyle and quality of life for up to 12 months after the initiation of treatment
Study of SOM0226 in Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy
Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy (FAP)Clinical proof of concept study to evaluate SOM0226 efficacy in TTR Amyloidosis.
APOLLO: The Study of an Investigational Drug, Patisiran (ALN-TTR02), for the Treatment of Transthyretin...
TTR-mediated AmyloidosisAmyloidosis8 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of patisiran (ALN-TTR02) in patients with transthyretin (TTR) mediated amyloidosis. An open-label, single-arm, long-term follow-up extension study NCT02510261 (ALN-TTR02-006) was initiated to provide participants who completed this study with continued patisiran-LNP (lipid nanoparticle) treatment.
Technological Rehabilitation of Distal Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy in Diabetic Patients
Complications of Diabetes MellitusDiabetic NeuropathiesThe investigators evaluated the effectiveness of the application of analysing treadmill, muscle strengthening and balance training compared to a control intervention in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
In-Bed Cycling in ICU Patients Post Cardiac Surgery
Cardiac DiseaseCritical Illness3 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine if in-bed cycling is safe and feasible in critically-ill patients after open heart surgery. The investigators hypothesize that in-bed cycling can be safely used with this population and that it is feasible to use in a fast-paced cardiac intensive care unit.
Effect of Alter-G Training on Glycemic Control and Quality of Life in Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic PolyneuropathyAging is a natural process that is frequently accompanied by chronic physical or mental health problems. Aging as well as a sedentary lifestyle behavior may produce identical pathological and morphological changes. Saudi population, especially elderly people assume sedentary lifestyle, with little physical activity is a strong predisposition for developing a disability that adversely affects many aspects of physical and mental functions; mainly mobility and the ability to perform the basic daily living activities (ADL); resulting finally in increased risk of independence, loss of functionality, and falls. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread chronic metabolic disorder, accounts for 90-95% of all patients with diabetes. It is one of the most life-threatening public health challenges in the world, characterized by long term complications that almost involves all systems of the body. Polyneuropathy is the most common symptomatic complication in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, found in 50 to 60 % of patients over the age of sixty, with the impaired glycemic control and deteriorated quality of life are among the most debilitating problems in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy.
A 16-Week Study of Pirenzepine or Placebo to Treat HIV-Associated Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy...
HIV Associated PolyneuropathyThis is a two-part study of the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of topically administered WST-057 for 16 weeks in subjects with HIV with sensory polyneuropathy.
Botulinum Toxin in Peripheral Neuropathic Pain
Postherpetic NeuralgiaDiabetic Polyneuropathies1 morePain due to peripheral nerve lesion remains extremely difficult to treat and current treatments have onl moderate efficacy and/or side effects. The investigators have previously demonstrated the long term efficacy of Botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in a small group of patients with post-traumatic/postherpetic neuralgia and allodynia. The present study aims to a/ confirm the efficacy of repeated applications of BTX-A in a larger group of patients with peripheral neuropathic pain with or without allodynia(primary outcome) ; b/ evaluate its mechanisms of action ; c/analyse the predictors of response ;d/analyse whether the second injection is associated with a therapeutic gain. This will be a randomized placebo controlled study. A total of 30 patients will be randomized to receive either BTX-A (subcutaneous injection in the painful area) or placebo. Each injection will be repeated within at least 3 months depending on the duration of efficacy. Skin punch biopsies will be performed before and 1 month after BTX-A administration. The investigators postulate that this study will confirm the clinical efficacy and good safety of repeated administrations of BTX-A in the treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain.
Safety and Efficacy of GRT6005 in Pain Due to Diabetic Polyneuropathy
PainDiabetic NeuropathiesThe purpose of this trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of GRT6005 in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy.
