Filter by:This project proposes a longitudinal design that uses multinuclear-MRI to evaluate the mechanistic effects of exercise on skeletal muscle function and peripheral nerve integrity in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and to determine whether exercise can reverse DPN symptoms. The investigators will prescribe a 10-week exercise program to 40 DPN patients. The investigators will acquire multinuclear-MRI data before and after the intervention that can provide mechanistic insight into the adaptations in lower leg muscle function and peripheral nerve integrity of patients with DPN, and their role in improving DPN symptoms following physical exercise intervention.
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of carbon fiber off loading orthoses to reduce plantar pressure while providing an augmented plantarflexor power to improve walking and function. Results of this study could lead to increased use of carbon fiber off loading orthoses for patients with diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, and foot wounds as a way augmenting wound healing and preventing future recurrences of wounds.
This clinical trial studies how well the sensorimotor rehabilitation program works in improving quality of life in patients with early stage breast cancer. A hand and foot sensory improvement program from occupational and physical therapists may improve patients' function in everyday tasks and overall quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to better understand whether or not children with ALL can complete an exercise program during treatment and whether or not that program may impact peripheral neuropathy. Researchers will also study changes in the blood and body that may occur during the program by collecting samples of blood at various times during the study. Aim 1: Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of EX as an intervention for VIPN in pediatric patients with ALL. Aim 2: Estimate preliminary effect sizes of the EX intervention.
Some types of chemotherapy used to treat breast cancer can cause damage to nerves with symptoms like tingling, numbness, muscle weakness, and pain in the hands and feet that can last and can affect functioning. The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of yoga on reducing symptoms caused by such nerve damage.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of real acupuncture with placebo acupuncture or usual care on symptoms of nerve damage from chemotherapy.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well ultrasound works in detecting taxane-induced neuropathy in patients with breast cancer. Ultrasound may work better in diagnosing and detecting neuropathy in breast cancer patients treated with the chemotherapy drug called a taxane.
Patients having completed former trials T1001-01 or T1001-02 will undergo one blood sampling for genotyping purposes. In addition they will compete the personality questionnaires they had completed in the former trial.
Presently, there are few options for medically managing HIV-related painful peripheral sensory neuropathy (HIV-SN). Psychological treatments, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), represent a potentially viable addition to the treatment of painful HIV-SN. However, there is a scarcity of research on psychological treatment approaches for pain management in people with HIV. This study will use in-depth semi-structured interviews to examine the needs of people with painful HIV-SN for a psychologically-based pain management treatment that may be delivered over the Internet. Interview questions will examine participants' needs in terms of treatment content and delivery format. Men and women, ethnic minorities, and people who use recreational drugs will be sampled to ensure that interview responses reflect the views of people most commonly suffering from this condition. Approximately 30 people will be recruited for the study. The interviews will be audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded to identify themes. The interview responses will be used to develop and tailor a version of CBT for people with painful HIV-SN. It is hoped that tailoring the treatment based on the qualitative interview responses will increase the acceptability of the treatment and will improve treatment adherence rates for a future study.
The single-center, open-label Phase II study has the objective of assess the effect of MD1003 on motor and sensory conduction in patients suffering from demyelinating polyneuropathies in 15 subjects.
