NCT06614322
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether quantitative sensory testing (QST) can be used to classify participants into pain sub-groups and predict who will respond best to certain pain treatments in participants with painful peripheral neuropathy. The analgesic effect is evaluated by measuring pain intensity and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). This study is a 3-period cross-over trial. This means researchers will compare 3 different drugs (pregabalin, duloxetine, and placebo) over a period of 19 weeks. Participants will: * Undergo a quantitative sensory testing (QST) exam. * Provide a blood sample. * Complete questionnaires on the computer. * Take the study drug as instructed.
NCT07525882
This observational cross-sectional study aims to investigate the effects of glycemic control and clinical parameters on tibial nerve conduction latency in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Adults aged 45 to 76 years with diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be evaluated at a neurology and clinical neurophysiology clinic. Data collection will include demographic and clinical characteristics, diabetes type and duration, fasting blood glucose, and HbA1c values obtained from routine clinical records. Participants will also be assessed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), including both the questionnaire and physical examination components. Nerve conduction studies will be performed using standard electromyography procedures, and tibial nerve conduction latency will be recorded. The study will examine the relationship between tibial nerve conduction latency and glycemic control parameters, neuropathy screening scores, and diabetes duration. The findings may help improve early identification and clinical evaluation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
NCT07260656

NCT07142304
Chemotherapy drugs, used in the treatment of cancer, have the potential of inducing peripheral neuropathy (PN) as a side effect. This side effect is commonly referred to as CIPN, or chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The Lilac Glove and Boot devices apply a low pressure across the surface of the hands and feet, respectively, to reduce access of chemotherapy to the peripheral nerves on the hands and feet. The small amount of pressure reduces the level of chemotherapy reaching the peripheral nerves, hence increasing the likelihood of nerve preservation during treatment and thus may potentially temporarily prevent the onset of moderate to severe PN symptoms induced by chemotherapy in the hands and feet while receiving treatment
NCT05840562
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and disabling complication of systemic chemotherapy, particularly with oxaliplatin or taxanes. The incidence of CIPN is variable but approximately 30-40% of patients treated with neurotoxic chemotherapy agents develop CIPN after long-term use of taxanes or oxaliplatin. This CIPN is essentially a sensory peripheral neuropathy with pain manifested by unpleasant symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and less frequently shooting/burning pain. These symptoms spread proximally to affect both lower and upper extremities in a characteristic "stocking and glove" distribution. Many symptoms of CIPN may resolve completely for some patients. However, CIPN is only partly reversible for most. In the worst instances, it does not appear to be reversible at all and can even increase over time. CIPN is difficult to manage. Only duloxetine is recommended, based on the positive result of a randomized phase III double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial. The use of duloxetine resulted in a greater reduction in pain and was effective in decreasing numbness and tingling in the feet. But, systemic antidepressants are often associated with toxicities and patients often refuse or abandon the treatment. Capsaicin inhibits neural transmission in sensory axons and has been proven as effective on the intensity of pain for post-herpetic neuralgia and human immunodeficiency virus-associated neuropathy. Efficacy appears at one month and persists for at least 2 months. Only a few studies focused on the efficacy of capsaicin 179 mg patch on the intensity of CIPN-induced pain. These non-randomized studies show that more than 50% of patients have a reduction in pain intensity of more than 30%. Until now, no clinical trial has compared the efficacy of the capsaicin 179 mg patch with duloxetine. Accordingly, this open-label phase 3, randomized, multicenter trial, will compare efficacy and safety of capsaicin patch with oral duloxetine on painful CIPN persisting more than 3 months after the end of the responsible chemotherapy.
NCT07072468
Peripheral neuropathy is a disorder caused by damage to the peripheral nerves. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common side effect of certain chemotherapy drugs, such as platinum-based compounds, taxanes, and vinca alkaloids, which can damage nerve fibres by disrupting their structure and function. At present, relief of neuropathic pain in CIPN is limited, and existing therapies providing only modest and variable efficacy across patients. This is a study of VMD-3866 gel (the study medicine which is non-opioid, non-NSAID), an experimental new topical medicine for treating pain caused by CIPN. The goal of this study is to assess if the study medicine improves pain symptoms in patients with CIPN, and to find out the side effects of the study medicine if any. The study medicine will work by selectively blocking a specific sub-type of proteins (called T-type calcium channels) in the nerves under the skin which will lower the activity of the nerves and therefore reduce pain. It is a topical gel, meaning that it is applied to the skin, and its novel gel formulation limits that only little amount of study medicine may enter the blood and none enters the brain. This means it's unlikely to be addictive and it's unlikely to have any impact on participant current medications. Researchers will compare study medicine to a matching placebo (a look-alike gel that contains no drug) to see if VMD-3866 gel works to management of pain caused by CIPN.
NCT07409987
This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of electrostimulation and compression applications on the severity, number, and pain levels of neuropathy symptoms and the quality of life of patients with metastatic gastrointestinal cancer receiving oxaliplatin-based treatment in the management of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. The study population consisted of patients with gastrointestinal cancer between 2025-2026 . Data collection tools were administered to patients who met the inclusion criteria and developed chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Patients were then stratified by age and gender and assigned to "control group, electrostimulation group, compression group, and electrostimulation+compression group" using block randomization. Statistical power analysis determined the total number of participants in the study as 140 patients, with 35 patients in each group. Patients in the control group benefited from the clinic's standard procedures and received no intervention
NCT07475065
This study aims to evaluate whether oral DLBS1033 can improve clinical symptoms and biological markers of nerve damage in adults with diabetic polyneuropathy. The trial enrolls patients with type 2 diabetes who show clinical signs of peripheral nerve injury. Participants will receive either DLBS1033 as adjuvant therapy or standard therapy alone for 28 days. The study will compare changes in neuropathy severity (Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score), inflammatory biomarkers (TNF-α), neuroregeneration biomarkers (Nerve Growth Factor), and sensory nerve conduction parameters of the sural nerve between the two groups. Blood tests, clinical assessments, and nerve conduction studies will be performed at baseline and follow-up visits. Participants will also report any symptoms or adverse events throughout the study.
NCT06405542
