The LIMB Study is a prospective, observational pilot study evaluating the feasibility of combined non-invasive hemodynamic and lower-limb tissue oximetry monitoring during prolonged minimally invasive pelvic surgeries performed in lithotomy position. Thirty patients will undergo continuous intraoperative monitoring, with the primary outcome being the frequency and duration of tissue oxygen desaturation events and secondary outcomes examining correlations with postoperative limb pain, sensation, and motor function. The study is non-interventional, poses minimal risk, and aims to generate preliminary data to inform future strategies for early detection and prevention of limb ischemia and well-leg compartment syndrome

This study aims to find out whether certain molecules in the blood, called microRNAs, are linked to how often and how severely people develop nerve damage from chemotherapy. The investigators will look at patients receiving cancer drugs known to affect the nerves, such as paclitaxel (used for lung cancer) and oxaliplatin (used for colorectal cancer).

The aim of the study is to evaluate voltage gated sodium channel (NaV1.7) dependent pain phenomena in neuropathic pain and chronic postoperative pain.

The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness of the Erchonia® EVRL™, manufactured by Erchonia Corporation (the Company), in providing prescription home use application for temporary relief of idiopathic neuropathy foot pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic neuropathy by a suitably qualified and licensed health professional.

A novel temporary peripheral nerve stimulation system that delivers electrical stimulation therapy in a cubital tunnel release model will be evaluated for feasibility.

The aim of current study is to evaluate the possible protective role of Ketotifen against oxaliplatin-induced peripheral sensory neuropathy in patient with stage III colorectal cancer. This study will be a randomized placebo controlled parallel study.64 patients with colorectal cancer will be randomized to 2 groups: Group I (control group; n=32) which will receive 12 cycles of modified FOLFOX-6 regimen plus placebo tablets twice daily. Group II (ketotifen group; n=32) which will receive modified FOLFOX-6 regimen in addition to ketotifen 2 mg daily Blood sample collection and biochemical assessment: * Serum IL-6 as a marker of inflammation. * Serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) as a biomarker of oxidative stress. * Serum neurotensin as a biomarker for neuropathy. Assessment of oxaliplatin induced peripheral sensory neuropathy will be done through: * The implication of National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE, Version 5, 2017) for grading of neuropathy at baseline and by the end of every two oxaliplatin cycles. * The use of Neurotoxicity- 12 item questionnaire score (Ntx-12) from the validated Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group "FACT/GOG-Ntx-12" at baseline and by the end of every two oxaliplatin cycles. * The assessment of the severity of neuropathic pain through brief pain inventory short form "BPI-SF" worst item. Severity of neuropathic pain will be assessed at baseline and by the end of every two oxaliplatin cycles.

Neuropathy refers to a condition that results from damage to the peripheral nerves.The most common cause of it is diabetes mellitus, metabolic disorder that affects more than 422 million individuals worldwide, putting a huge strain on the healthcare system and up to 50% of these individuals will develop neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is characterized by sensory nerve abnormalities such as an impaired sense of touch. Sensory loss in feet can lead to functional deficits during gait, low balance, and increased risk of falls and is considered the strongest risk factor for diabetic foot ulceration. Moreover, these patients usually also suffer from neuropathic pain, which is believed to be associated with aberrant sensory input. With this in mind, the study aims to understand the effects of restoring sensation lost to neuropathy using transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Additionally, the investigators aim to understand if electrical stimulation of the damaged nerves can reduce health consequences such as chronic pain. To achieve this, the investigators have developed a wearable sensory restoration system that can restore lost sensation with non-invasive, precisely controlled electrical stimulation through electrodes integrated into the sock garment. A system is composed of a system controller that communicates via Bluetooth with force-sensitive insoles placed in the shoes and neurostimulators directly connected to electrode array socks. Based on the insole recordings the stimulation parameters are defined in real-time, making it a closed-loop system for restoring somatotopic sensory feedback.

Taxol is a very effective drug in breast cancer, but it can cause peripheral neuropathy (PN). This toxicity is often dose-limiting. Symptoms of PN usually improve after taxol discontinuation, but \>80% of affected women experience symptoms 1-3 years after treatment stop. The intensity, the duration and the type of symptoms related to PN are very different and they can strongly interfere with patients' quality of life. The application of cold to the hands and feet seems to be able to reduce the incidence of PN. Hilotherm® is a machine that allows to cool hands and feet. The aim of this study is to verify whether the use of Hilotherm® is able to reduce the incidence of moderate and severe PN and to evaluate the tolerability of Hilotherm® and its impact on quality of life.

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the role of peripheral afferent input for spontaneous pain in painful diabetic polyneuropathy

To determine the safety and efficacy of Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Tissue for the treatment of the following condition categories: Orthopedic, Neurologic, Urologic, Autoimmune, Renal, Cardiac and Pulmonary Conditions. The hypotheses are that the treatments are not only extremely safe, but also statistically beneficial for all conditions. Outcomes will be determined by numerous valid outcome instruments that compile general quality of life information along with condition-specific information as well.
