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.

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 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 study tests a special laser treatment (photobiomodulation) to reduce nerve pain caused by chemotherapy in cancer patients. If you have had nerve pain for at least 3 months after chemo and can attend twice-weekly sessions, this may help ease your pain.
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends electrical pulses to your spinal cord to block pain—as a treatment for stubborn nerve pain in the feet caused by diabetes. It might help when usual pain medicines and other treatments haven't worked.
This study tests whether shining light on the feet and legs can help reduce nerve damage caused by chemotherapy in people who had cancer as children. If you have ongoing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands or feet from past chemo, this trial may offer a gentle, drug-free treatment.
