Filter by:This research; It was aimed to evaluate the effect of myofascial release using a tennis ball on balance and quality of life in cancer patients who developed peripheral neuropathy.
The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the acceptability and proof of concept effectiveness of a wireless Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technology to address Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN). Participants, who satisfy the inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign the informed consent form will be randomly assigned with ratio of 1:1 into two groups. The patients and clinicians will be blinded for group allocation. One group will utilize TENS high-dose devices (Intervention group, IG); the other group will utilize low-dose TENS devices (Placebo group, PG). The baseline measurements will be performed, and the patients will take the programmed device home for a duration of 8 weeks. Then, the patients will come back after four weeks (4W) and after 8 weeks (8W) for outcome assessment. The primary outcome will be pain. Secondary outcomes include: nerve conduction and velocity, vibration perception threshold, quality of life. Exploratory outcomes include gait assessment (gait speed, stride length, double stance, and gait steadiness), and balance.
This research is being done to test a new device, called the Somatosensation Device, with people who have either a below knee amputation, or neuropathy (i.e. decreased sensation) in their legs. When people have lost sensation in their feet, it may make walking and balance more difficult. The Somatosensation Device is designed to substitute the loss of feeling in a foot by pressing on nerves on the surface of the leg. It presses on the nerves by using a pneumatic balloon to put pressure on your skin. If people receive this extra sensation feedback, it may help improve their walking and balance.
Stroke is the most common cause of mortality and is one of the most common causes of morbidity in the world. Polyneuropathies and entrapment neuropathies are known as the complications of stroke
This study will be conducted to compare the effects of hand and foot exercises on peripheral neuropathy and quality of life in breast cancer patients taking taxanes
This study is designed to learn more about the impact different types of stimuli, such as heat, cold and vibration, can have on ocular pain response. This is called quantitative sensory testing (QST). Most procedures being performed in this study, except the QST, are standard of care which means they are performed during the participant's routine eye examination.
This prospective, single center, interventional, open-label, single arm, non-randomized trial seeks to investigate the efficacy of Oxervate® (cenergermin 0.002% eye drops) on ameliorating the signs and symptoms of neuropathic corneal pain (NCP). The study aims to enroll 28 subjects with NCP. All patients will be evaluated for clinical symptoms and signs of NCP, corneal staining and nerve regeneration (by IVCM) at Baseline (Visit 2) through the end of study (16 weeks post treatment).
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of modified otago exercises on joint position sense, balance and physical fitness parameters in individuals with diabetic neuropathy. In addition aim of to examine the effects of exercise on metabolic variables and to gain exercise awareness in diabetic individuals.
In this prospective interventional study, we look at the level of tip of the DTM neurostimulator and the presence of abdominal wall stimulation in patients
Neuropathy is a costly and disabling health issue, which consists of a degeneration of the peripheral nerves. Even though the causes may be different, such as diabetes or amputation, the consequences for neuropathic patients are multiple and extremely debilitating. Among the alarming symptoms it implicates, chronic pain and sensory loss are among the most severe ones. Because of the loss of sensations, patients are forced to have an altered gait strategy, an impaired balance and a fivefold increased risk of falling. Furthermore, since they lose sensations and feel numbness in their extremity, they are discouraged in walking, hence leading to a sedentary lifestyle. All of this is worsened by the development of neuropathic pain, which has a high comorbidity with psychological issues, such as depression and anxiety. Today, proper treatments for neuropathic pain that exclude pharmacological solutions are still missing. This is due to the complexity of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the origin of neuropathy, the multifaceted physical and psychological nature of pain and the lack of reliable biomarkers. The aim of this project is to tackle the major problems connected to neuropathy thanks to non-invasive stimulation of the peripheral nervous system. The system is composed of an insole with pressure sensors that captures in real time the force exerted by the subject on the foot and couples this information with parameters of electrical stimulation. Thanks to optimal electrode placement and intensity modulation, subjects are able to perceive in real-time in a somatotopic manner (i.e., under their foot) how they are walking. The aim now is twofold: first the investigators want to couple this stimulation with Virtual Reality (VR) to develop a neuroadaptive non-invasive brain computer interface (BCI) to treat pain and secondly the investigators want to measure through fMRI scans whether the use of the sensory feedback system allows any beneficial plastic changes in the brain. Finally, the investigators want to measure through fMRI scans whether the use of the sensory feedback system allows any beneficial plastic changes in the brain.
