ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Multimodal Ultrasound in Peripheral Neuropathy," is studying how ultrasound can help diagnose and screen for peripheral neuropathy, a condition that affects the nerves in the body and can cause symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness. The researchers want to see if using ultrasound early on is more effective than other methods currently used to find this condition.

To participate in the trial, you need to be between the ages of 65 and 74 and have symptoms that suggest peripheral neuropathy. However, if you have any health issues that make it unsafe to use the ultrasound probe on your skin, you won’t be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to undergo tests using ultrasound, which is a safe and painless way to look at your nerves. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it's an important step in improving how doctors can diagnose this condition early on.
