Phase 2/3, Randomized, Double-Masked, Sham-Controlled Trial Of QPI-1007 In Subjects With Acute Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy (NAION)
Rochester, MN
This study will determine the effect of QPI-1007 on visual function in subjects with recent-onset NAION and assess the safety and tolerability of intravitreal injections of QPI-1007 in this population. This study will also evaluate the structural changes in the retina following administration of QPI-1007.

The Effect of Ablation of Epidermal Nerve Fibers Using Capsaicin Cream
Rochester, MN
This is a study of epidermal (the outer most layer) nerve fibers (ENFs) in the skin of the body; counts of which are used to determine a disease of nerves called "small nerve fiber neuropathy."
Capsaicin is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pain relief. Since 0.1% capsaicin is known to cause ablation (removal) of ENFs, this study will test whether such ablation results in relief of spontaneous pain, touch, or heat-pain.

Ultrasound Utility in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
As CTS is the most commonly diagnosed compression neuropathy of the upper extremity, assessment of severity and treatment response is important crucial to determine the clinical outcomes. Currently, physical examination and overall functional status as well as pre-op electrodiagnostic (EDX) testing are important in determining patient outcome scores and assessing the treatment response. The physical properties of MN and surrounding tissue may be good biomarkers for this evaluation.
SWE is a qualitative and quantitative method for measuring tissue stiffness. There are limited studies on using SWE for diagnosis of CTS , but other aspects of CTS, including the ...

Calcium and Magnesium in Preventing Peripheral Neuropathy Caused by Ixabepilone in Patients With Breast Cancer
Rochester, MN
RATIONALE: Giving calcium together with magnesium may stop or delay the development of peripheral neuropathy in patients with cancer who are receiving treatment with ixabepilone. It is not yet known whether calcium and magnesium are more effective than a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by ixabepilone.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying calcium given together with magnesium to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing peripheral neuropathy caused by ixabepilone in patients with breast cancer.

A Study To Evaluate Duloxetine To Prevent Oxaliplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy In Patients With Stage II-III Colorectal Cancer
Eau Claire, WI; Mankato, MN; Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to determine the best dose of duloxetine and how well it works in preventing pain, tingling, and numbness (peripheral neuropathy) caused by treatment with oxaliplatin in patients with stage II-III colorectal cancer. Duloxetine increases the amount of certain chemicals in the brain that help relieve depression and pain. Giving duloxetine in patients undergoing treatment with oxaliplatin for colorectal cancer may help prevent peripheral neuropathy.
