Superior cluneal nerve entrapment (SCN) is a painful symptomatic condition related to compression by the thoracolumbar and gluteal bands of nerve outcrop, above the iliac crest. This syndrome is not considered in the classical differential diagnosis of lumbosacral spine disorders and is almost unknown in Italy. It is a neuropathic pain, acute, subacute, or chronic, evoked by mechanical stress at the level of the sensory territory corresponding to the superior cluneal nerve, easily found anatomically and evoked at a trigger point on the posterior iliac crest approximately 70mm from the midline and 45mm from the posterior superior iliac spine. SCN entrapment syndrome represents a not so infrequent syndrome. It is easily framed and treatment is effective in most cases. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome represents an excellent option in all those patients with low back pain that cannot be otherwise framed and resolved.
The project aims to investigate the validity, and reliability of outcome measures of muscle strength, functioning (gait, balance, and fine motor skills), physical activity, and patient-reported outcome measures of functioning (gait, balance, and fine motor skills), and daily living among patients with polyneuropathy. Further, the project aims to compare physical activity and patient-reported outcome measures of functioning (gait, balance, and fine motor skills), and daily living among patients with polyneuropathy with physical activity and patient-reported outcome measures of functioning (gait, balance, and fine motor skills) and daily living in healthy adults.
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, the diagnosis of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was made based on clinical findings and physical examinations. Then, the cross-sectional areas of the participants' median nerves from different levels were measured. Meidolateral and anteroposterior diameter were measured at the level of the carpal tunnel inlet. Flattening ratio was calculated. wrist to forearm ratio and wrist to forearm difference were calculated. The obtained data were compared between RA with CTS, RA without CTS and healthy control.
To describe a novel technique by integrating the intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) into laparoscopy to protect pelvic nerves by continuously monitoring when they are at risk during surgery.
A Phase 1, Open-Label, Prospective, Dose-finding Clinical Trial for Evaluation of Safety and Tolerability of Intramuscular Injections of CLZ-2002 for the Treatment of Subjects with Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1(CMT 1)
The goal of this Natural History Study for Charcot-Marie-Tooth is to acquire, record, and analyze patient-reported data and associated genetic reports, Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and clinical notes to identify the burden, diagnostic journey, and prevalence of disease that will aid scientists in their work toward finding a cure. Participants will be asked to complete a Natural History Survey.
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the efficacy of High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) in the management of Meralgia Paresthetica (MP), a peripheral neuropathy causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the thigh region. Participants with MP will be randomly allocated to either the HILT or sham HILT (control) group. The study will evaluate the effects of HILT on pain intensity, functional outcomes, and quality of life. Findings from this trial will provide insights into the potential benefits of HILT as a non-invasive and safe treatment option for patients with MP.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about sodium channel (Nav) mutations in patients with the Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES). This study will give more insight into the pathophysiology of ACNES, which is still largely unknown. The primary objective is to determine if there are mutations of Nav1.7 and Nav1.8 in patients with ACNES. Therefore, one blood sample will be drawn, in which the mutations will be analyzed.
The long term goal of this proposal is to precisely characterize the auditory and vestibular abilities of children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) and how these abilities evolve during the progression of the disorder. This information will be used to refine the management methods for hearing loss and vestibular disorders in these patients. Given that the phenotypic severity is variable within the CMT patient population, we predict that not all CMT patients will present with auditory and vestibular dysfunction. We will therefore collect specimens (i.e., buccal swabs and saliva) from study participants so that their DNA can be isolated and used to determine the genetic basis for auditory and vestibular dysfunction in peripheral neuropathies.
