Origin of Chronic Pain Study – McMaster U (Canada only)
Lived Experience with Charcot Marie Tooth (anywhere)
Diabetic Neuropathy Cream for growth of Nerves
Sponsored by Winsantor, The University of Alberta and other research institutes are conducting a randomized outpatient, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-site study of the safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of topically administered WST-057 (4% pirenzepine free base monohydrate) for 24 weeks in subjects with T2DM with peripheral neuropathy. Inclusion criteria include: diagnosis of T2DM; age rage 18-75 years, and presence of definite diabetic neuropathy of at least 12 months duration in the lower extremities. Recruitment for this trial is complete.
Research Study Databases
There are thousands of research studies going on around the world. Below are some of the databases to help you find research studies of interest to you. You do not need to restrict yourself to neuropathy when searching. If you have an underlying condition, such as CMT or Diabetes, include that in your search criteria in the database.
- Search the Government of Canada’s clinical trial database
- The Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada’s list of clinical trials
- The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides a regularly updated, online database of clinical trials around the world
- Charcot Marie Tooth Disease (CMT) North American Database maintains a list of families with a history of CMT to identify patients and relatives who may be interested in participating in research projects.
