About this study

The purpose of this experiment is to establish a solid medical foundation for the successful development of non-invasive harmonic generation (HGM) microscopic slicing methods. The purpose of this new technology platform is to directly observe the nerve endings of nociceptors To enhance understanding of how neuropathies occur, persistence, and ease. This technique will assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with neuralgia.

Read the detailed description

This study will be the skin tissue for the virtual slice object, the study intends to the following research:

The number of people enrolled in the Court is 170.

Between 20 and 90 years old, meet the following conditions, suitable for participation in this test:

  1. Healthy subjects of different ages (20 persons): to study the optical imaging of the skin and nerve endings: the control of healthy subjects and peripheral neuropathy patients skin observed by the optical images of the shoots.
  2. Abandoned extra digit specimen of polydactyly(10 persons): to study the optical imaging of the normal skin and nerve endings in extra digit : collect abandoned digit specimen after surgical removal in polydactyly.
  3. has been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy (90 persons):to study the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy of the skin nerve endings of the optical image observation and quantitative sensory nerve examination
  4. clinically must be diagnosed by the skin slices of diabetic neuropathy patients have been removed after the completion of clinical diagnosis of the specimen,And then the skin slices of the nerve endings of the optical image observation (20 persons):study the technical observation of diabetic patients with skin sections of the nerve endings of the optical image observation: the clinical must be skin slices for the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy, patients has been taken out after the completion of clinical diagnosis, and then the skin slices of the nerve endings of the light learning image observation.
  5. because of chemotherapy during chemotherapy, is expected to have peripheral neuropathy: before the occurrence of peripheral neuropathy , Peripheral nerve lesions were cured after subcutaneous nerve optical observation (30 persons):for different periods of peripheral neuropathy subcutaneous nerve optical observation: in the peripheral neuropathy occurred before the occurrence of peripheral neuropathic symptoms, peripheral neuropathy after cure for subcutaneous nerve optical observation.

This test can not be attended if:

Those who suffer from systemic infection or have been infected with the site by the physician assessment is not suitable for examination.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • harmonic generation (HGM) microscopic methods.Diagnostic test

    a frequency-dependent optical microscopy system with a near-infrared light source with a wavelength of 1230 nm was used to detect the diseased site and normal skin.Use erbium-Jacob (Er-YAG) laser exfoliation. the participants need to lie down, wear goggles. The lens sucker device to help fix the skin examination site. Based on the experience of the past 118 subjects, the participants did not discomfort. The total time of the laser irradiation on the same skin is no more than 30 minutes, the maximum laser power is no more than 0.15 watts, irradiation in the skin of the total energy of the laser does not exceed 270 joules. After the experiment, the investigators immediately check the skin for the participants

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. nerve ending number measurement

    Use of harmonic generation (HGM) microscopic virtual biopsy methods to obtain 3D live images.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. nerve ending structure measurement

    Quantify the molecules on the image, the biological characteristics of tissue nerve cells have a comprehensive understanding, and will try to establish the human subcutaneous nerve optical observation method

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing harmonic generation (HGM) microscopic methods. in people with Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy and Peripheral Neuropathy, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact LIN Wen-ying, MD (0972652006, ying434@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

nerve ending number measurement (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2017.
