Walkasins study for balance with peripheral neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a wearable device called Walkasins can improve balance and walking in people with peripheral neuropathy. It may help if you have trouble with balance and your foot size fits the device.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy (including from chemotherapy, if at least one year ago)
- You have trouble with your balance or walking
- You can walk and do tests without a cane or walker
- Your foot size fits the Walkasins device
- You cannot stand on one leg for 30 seconds or more
- You weigh 300 pounds or less

This study tests a wearable device called Walkasins that uses gentle vibrations on your foot to help improve balance and walking ability. It's designed for older adults with nerve damage in their feet who have difficulty with balance.
This trial tests a device called the Leia Sensory Prosthesis, which may help people with peripheral neuropathy improve their balance and walking. It compares the active device to a placebo (sham) to see if it reduces falls and improves stability.
This study tests whether special sensory training exercises can improve your balance, walking, and daily physical function if you have type 2 diabetes with nerve damage in your feet. You will do supervised exercises and the researchers will measure how you move and balance before and after.
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment to balance exercises can reduce fall risk in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet and legs.
This study compares two exercise programs (Otago and Beat it) to see which one better improves balance, walking, and quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet. If you join, you'll do one of these programs and help scientists learn which is more effective.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
