Laser therapy for foot pain from idiopathic neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a laser device for temporary relief of foot pain from peripheral neuropathy when the cause is unknown. It may help if you have constant foot pain and are not diabetic.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with idiopathic (cause unknown) peripheral neuropathy in the last 6 months
- Age 22 or older
- Constant foot pain for at least 3 months
- Foot pain level of 50 or more on a 0-100 scale
- No diabetes or other known cause of neuropathy
- Willing to stop other pain therapies during the study and avoid pain meds for 6 hours before pain ratings

This study tests a multi-sensory (multiple-sense) stimulation approach to see if it can help people with nerve-related pain in the legs/feet. You must be able to safely take part in MRI-related sessions and answer questions about pain and health history.
This trial looks at whether light (photobiomodulation) and laser-like therapy can reduce nerve pain in people who developed neuropathy after chemotherapy. If you match the chemotherapy and language requirements, you may be screened to see if this treatment is safe and helpful for your symptoms.
This study compares two physical therapy methods (ultrasound and high-intensity laser therapy) to see which one better reduces nerve pain, improves strength, and boosts quality of life in people with diabetic foot pain.
This trial tests if a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help heal foot ulcers faster in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage. It also measures how the treatment affects a substance linked to inflammation (IL-6).
This trial tests a new treatment for chronic plantar fasciitis (heel pain) using very thin needles that deliver a mild electrical current to the muscles and fascia. It may help people who have had heel pain for at least 6 weeks and haven't tried other treatments.
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
