Filter by:The study compares two widely used treatments in closing the wound after open carpal tunnel release surgery: absorbable and non-absorbable sutures. It is conducted as a randomized controlled trial, where the participants are divided into two research groups. The visual outcome of the scar will be evaluated a year after the surgery.
This research involves retrospective and prospective studies for clinical validation of a DystoniaNet deep learning platform for the diagnosis of isolated dystonia.
The current study investigates the effect of different doses of pulses ultrasound therapy on different nerve conduction parameters of the median nerve in healthy volunteering subjects.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and multicenter 3 phase trial evaluating the therapeutic effect and safety of CMT1A by PXT3003. This double-blind study will assess in parallel groups 1 dose of PXT3003 compared to Placebo in CMT1A patients treated for 15 months.
Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is caused by nerve entrapment in the abdominal wall. Recently de Weerd and Weum have suggested lumbar cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (LUCNES) as a name for a similar condition in the lower back. DIRT can potentially be used to identify the locations of perforators, thereby also indirectly identifying the location of nerve entrapment in ACNES and LUCNES, when a point of maximal pain corresponds to a hot spot. This study evaluates the location of hot spots on DIRT in relation to tender points and perforators visualized with CT angiography and color Doppler. In the ACNES patients, DIRT performed with a low-cost smartphone thermal camera will be compared to DIRT with a professional thermal camera to evaluate the usefulness of low-cost equipment to visualize the point of nerve entrapment.
This study will assess the serum NT-3 levels in individuals with the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy or any type of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy (CMT) and correlate this with function.
This is a cross-sectional study to clarify the gene lineage distribution of CMT genes in CMT patients in my country, draw a frequency map of CMT gene distribution, and assist in determining the genetic diagnosis strategy of CMT diseases. All patients will be collected for clinical and electrophysiological data. Patients and families who meet the enrollment criteria will be tested for blood tests.
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is the commonest sensitivo-motor inherited peripheral neuropathies with a prevalence of about 10-30 per 100,000. To date, more than 80 genes have been found responsible for CMT. Some of these genes code for mitochondrial proteins such as mitofusin 2 (MFN2). In the last few years, our laboratory has developed strong expertise in metabolomics. The MetaDLM_CMT2A project proposes to produce metabolomic and lipidomic maps in CMT2A plasma from a cohort of genetically and clinically characterized patients with a national recruitment. In the perspective of future clinical trials, these biomarkers and the better understanding of lipid metabolism defects in CMT2A would be of major interest in monitoring the evolution of the disease and developing specific therapeutic approaches.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if a person with weakness or paralysis in one or both arms, can use the NuroSleeve combined powered arm brace (orthosis) and muscle stimulation system to help restore movement in one arm sufficient to perform daily activities. This study could lead to the development of a product that could allow people with arm weakness or arm paralysis to use the NuroSleeve and similar devices to improve arm health and independent function.
The FOOT DROP trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial to assess if decompressive surgery for peroneal nerve entrapment is superior to maximal conservative treatment. Patients with persisting foot drop due to peroneal nerve entrapment will be randomized to either surgery or conservative treatment if foot drop persists 10 +/- 4 weeks after onset of symptoms. Patients will be evaluated through several questionnaires, evolution of muscle strength and several types of gait assessments. Primary endpoint is the difference in distance covered during the six minute walking test between baseline and 9 months after randomization.
