Peripheral Nervous System Diseases

This study will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single dose of nexiguran ziclumeran (NTLA-2001) compared to placebo in participants with ATTRv-PN.

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.

The proposed study evaluates the effect of ankle foot orthosis (AFO) heel height and stiffness on the forces and motion of the lower limb during over-ground walking in individuals who use an AFO for daily walking. Previous studies suggest that heel height and stiffness effect limb loading, but these data and the analysis techniques applied are limited. In this study, heel cushions with different height and stiffness's (4 conditions) will be placed in participants shoes and they will walk at controlled and self-selected speeds. Participants will also walk with their AFO as configured prior to enrollment, and with no AFO if possible. The proposed study will provide evidence that can be used by clinicians and researchers to align braces that most effectively improve function during every-day walking.

The purpose of this research study is to test the utility of an ankle robot, when used during treadmill walking, in people with ankle weakness and foot drop from a peripheral nervous system injury due to neuromuscular or orthopedic injury.
