Filter by:This Phase 2 trial will assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, imaging pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of RVP-001, a novel manganese-based MRI contrast agent, at three escalating dose levels. RVP-001 will be administered as a single IV bolus to subjects with known gadolinium-enhancing central nervous system (CNS) lesions (for example stable brain tumor or multiple sclerosis) who have recently had a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA)-enhanced MRI of the brain.
Morton s neuroma is an irritation of the nerves that affect the feet. People with this condition may have burning or shooting pain in the balls of their feet. They may also have numbness in adjacent areas. These symptoms may become more frequent and severe over time. The pain may become permanent. Current treatments tend to be short-lived, and they do not work in all people. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug, resiniferatoxin (RTX), in people with Morton s neuroma. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 and older who have Morton s neuroma and have tried other standard treatments that did not ease their pain. Design: Participants will be involved in the study up to 4 months. They will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function. They will have X-rays of their affected feet. They will have tests to assess their pain and how their feet react to touch and changes in temperature. They will complete questionnaires about their pain. RTX is injected into the foot at the site of the nerve pain. Participants will receive a shot to numb the area before the RTX is administered. They will be monitored in the clinic for 4 hours after they receive the RTX. Participants will receive up to 5 follow-up phone calls per week. Each call will take 5 to 10 minutes. They will be asked about their foot pain and whether they have had any side effects from the RTX. Participants will return to the clinic 4 weeks after the treatment. Previous tests will be repeated.
The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of intermetatarsal bursitis and Morton's neuroma in patients with metatarsalgia (i.e. pain in the forefoot) and control subjects by diagnostic imaging with ultrasound and MRI.
The trial will be carried out in Peking University People's Hospital. The whole trial will last 3 years. Amputees from orthopedics and vascular surgery will be distributed into two groups randomly and receive different treatments including traditional resection and regenerative peripheral nerve interface(RPNI) surgery.The pain outcome,the impact of post-amputation pain on life and the utilization rate of prostheses will be collected to study the efficacy, safety and prognosis of preventive regenerative peripheral nerve interface reconstruction in amputees. Investigators believe that RPNI can effectively reduce the incidence of post-amputation pain, reduce the degree of pain, improve the wearing rate of prostheses, and help patients return to normal life.
Morton's neuroma is a benign thickening involving the plantar interdigital nerve, most common in middle aged women. Morton's neuroma is one of the most frequent diagnoses seen in the investigators podiatry clinic and is difficult to treat. These lesions cause a burning or shooting pain that can radiate to the toes, or an aching pain in the ball of the foot. The pain is exacerbated with activity and certain footwear greatly limits activity in the involved patient population. Morton's neuroma is first treated conservatively with orthotics. Patients may require further interventions such as steroid injections. The literature reports only a 30% long term resolution of pain with the steroid. Surgical resection has a reported 51-85% success rate with 14-21% rate of complication; recurrent pain, numbness/loss of sensation, and subsequent stump neuromas. Cryoablation is well known to be efficacious for neuropathic pain and has recently been shown in two small studies to be safe and efficacious for treatment of Morton's neuroma. The investigators study will compare outcomes of cryoablation to corticosteroid injection in short- and long-term for treatment of Morton's neuroma that have failed conservative therapy.
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of the use of custom made insoles in the treatment of Morton's neuroma on foot pressure, temporal and spatial gait parameters.
This is a double-blind randomised controlled trial (RCT) which compares the effectiveness of three surgical techniques for alleviating residual limb pain (RLP), neuroma pain and phantom limb pain (PLP). The three surgical treatments are Targeted Muscles Reinnervation (TMR), Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interface (RPNI), and an active control (neuroma excision and muscle burying). Patients will be follow-up for 4 years.
This study is being done to demonstrate the effectiveness of Regenerative Peripheral Nerve Interfaces (RPNI) surgery in treating symptomatic neuromas of the hand and digits following amputation compared to standard of care using a Prospective, Observational Trial
This pilot study evaluates the tolerability and feasibility of the Axoguard Large-Diameter Nerve Cap (sizes 5-7 mm) for protecting and preserving terminated nerve endings after limb trauma or amputation when immediate attention to the nerve injuries is not possible.
This study has investigated the quality of life of patients with vestibular schwannoma using this specific scale prospectively, whether treated surgically or monitored.
