Tai chi for nerve damage from chemo
This study tests whether tai chi can help cancer survivors with nerve damage from chemotherapy. You will be randomly assigned to take tai chi classes or join a waitlist group, and the study tracks changes in balance, nerve pain, and quality of life.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07095998Recruiting
Nerve health in people receiving cisplatin chemotherapy

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06628908RecruitingPhase 3
Study of suzetrigine for painful diabetic nerve damage

Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT02610439Recruiting
Genetic testing to find causes of paclitaxel nerve damage
This study uses genetic tests on blood DNA to look for differences that may explain why some people develop nerve pain (peripheral neuropathy) from paclitaxel used for breast cancer. It compares people who got significant neuropathy during treatment with people who did not get neuropathy after completing paclitaxel.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04759443Recruiting
Skin testing to detect small-fiber nerve damage
This study looks for small-fiber neuropathy (nerve damage that can affect pain and sensation) by examining skin properties. It may help researchers find easier ways to detect this condition using skin-based testing.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06980948RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy study for nerve pain from small fiber neuropathy
This trial tests a new gene therapy called ST-503 for people with long-lasting nerve pain from small fiber neuropathy that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The study will check if the treatment is safe and tolerable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07548476Recruiting

What taking part in a neuropathy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
