About this trial

This is a US-specific pilot study to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of the investigational MYNERVA Leia Sensory Prosthesis on gait, neuropathic symptoms and quality of life in US adults with peripheral neuropathy, and to capture insights on the device's usability and perceived clinical effects.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Signed informed consent prior to any study procedure

Adults ≥ 18 years

Clinical diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy, confirmed per site procedures

Gait or balance difficulties as self-reported and confirmed by single-leg stance < 30 seconds

Disqualifiers

Untreated/unhealed lesions of any kind (e.g., wounds, swelling, infection, inflamed area of skin or eruptions on the lower leg (foot and ankle) or near device use (e.g., untreated lymphedema, phlebitis, thrombo-phlebitis or varicose veins)

Untreated/unhealed fractures in the foot and ankle

Cancerous growth in the planned treatment area

Severe peripheral vascular disease (e.g., gangrene)

Trial design

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Leia Sensory Prosthesis

    Device

    A non-invasive wearable device used to evaluate the short- and long-term effects on gait, neuropathic symptoms and quality of life in US adults with peripheral neuropathy, and to capture insights on the device's usability and perceived clinical effects.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in gait parameters

using the 10-meter walking test

Time frame
At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session

Secondary outcomes

1

Single-leg stance

The single-leg stance test is a simple clinical assessment used to evaluate static balance and postural control. The patient is instructed to stand unassisted on one leg for up to 30 seconds, with eyes open and arms by the side. The test is performed in both legs. Inability to maintain the position for 30 seconds indicating impaired balance and increased risk of falls.

Time frame
At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session
2

Timed-up and Go (TUG) in seconds

The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test assesses functional mobility. Participants are instructed to stand up from a chair, walk 3 metres at their usual pace, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The time from the command to start until the participant is seated again is recorded in seconds. A shorter time indicates better functional mobility.

Time frame
At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session
3

Sensory function - Monofilament test

Sensitivity to pressure and touch

Time frame
At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) directly after the single 30 minutes treatment session
4

Quality of life (NORFOLK QOL-DN (in part)

Evaluates impact of intervention on daily function and well-being.

Time frame
At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention, 1 day after intervention (visit 2), monthly up to max. 6 months (only if patients perceived persisting benefit)
