Leia device for balance in peripheral neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) that affects feeling in your feet.
- You should have trouble with walking or balance, confirmed by a short test like the Functional Gait Assessment or standing on one leg for less than 30 seconds.
- You must be able to walk on your own without a walker or cane.
- You cannot have any open wounds, infections, or serious skin issues on your lower legs or feet.
- You must be willing to come to weekly visits and use the device at home for the study.

This study measures brain and nerve “biomarkers” to understand how Parkinson’s affects walking and balance. It may help researchers identify signs that relate to gait problems, and participants with a specific implanted stimulator may be able to take part in testing with stimulation turned off.
This trial tests a way to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their walking and balance by using personalized stimulation. If you have trouble with walking or balance and are already planning rehab at cereneo, you might be able to join.
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.
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 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 tests whether a special balance-training platform can help people with peripheral neuropathy improve their balance and reduce their risk of falling. If you have this nerve condition, you may benefit from this non-invasive therapy that works like a video game for your feet.
