Study summary

This is a US-specific pilot study to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of the investigational MYNERVA Leia Sensory Prosthesis on gait, neuropathic symptoms and quality of life in US adults with peripheral neuropathy, and to capture insights on the device's usability and perceived clinical effects.

Read the detailed description

Through a single, two-hour in-person session per participant, this study is intended to generate preliminary evidence on whether the Leia Sensory Prosthesis improves gait patterns and sensory function in US adults with peripheral neuropathy, based on short-term device use.

A phone follow-up will inform on participant-reported clinical effects of the single use of Leia, and their duration.

Findings will also allow to gain a more comprehensive understanding of US demographic specifics to inform future device design, usability improvements, and potential adoption barriers ahead of further clinical development.

  • Current participation in any other clinical study using an device or investigational drug
  • Orthopedic conditions substantially limiting gait (e.g., failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS), recent hip or knee replacement, unstable fractures) as judged by the investigator
  • Inability to perceive the stimulation (tested by MYNERVA staff during calibration)
  • Cognitive impairment or poor command of English that preclude or answering questionnaires
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

    Device: Leia Sensory Prosthesis

Interventions

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in gait parameters

    using the 10-meter walking test

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session

Secondary outcomes

  1. Single-leg stance

    The single-leg stance test is a simple clinical assessment used to evaluate static balance and postural control. The patient is instructed to stand unassisted on one leg for up to 30 seconds, with eyes open and arms by the side. The test is performed in both legs. Inability to maintain the position for 30 seconds indicating impaired balance and increased risk of falls.

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session

  2. Timed-up and Go (TUG) in seconds

    The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test assesses functional mobility. Participants are instructed to stand up from a chair, walk 3 metres at their usual pace, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. The time from the command to start until the participant is seated again is recorded in seconds. A shorter time indicates better functional mobility.

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session

  3. Sensory function - Monofilament test

    Sensitivity to pressure and touch

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) directly after the single 30 minutes treatment session

  4. Quality of life (NORFOLK QOL-DN (in part)

    Evaluates impact of intervention on daily function and well-being.

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention, 1 day after intervention (visit 2), monthly up to max. 6 months (only if patients perceived persisting benefit)

  5. EQ-5D (in part) questionnaire

    Evaluates impact of intervention on daily function and well-being.

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention, 1 day after intervention (visit 2), monthly up to max. 6 months (only if patients perceived persisting benefit)

  6. Neuropathic pain symptoms (NPSI questionnaire)

    Captures changes in neuropathic pain intensity and quality.

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention and at visit 1 (Day 1) directly after the single 30 minutes treatment session

  7. Patient history including symptoms, patient journey, and treatments received related to peripheral neuropathy

    Patients are asked for their symptoms, disease progression, diagnostic pathway and treatments received related to peripheral neuropathy

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1)

  8. Fall history: fall questionnaire

    Assessment of previous falls

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) before the intervention

  9. Usability and patient satisfaction

    Patients will provide feedback on usability, comfort and user-friendliness in a patient satisfaction questionaire.

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) directly after the single treatment session

  10. Patient-reported perceived clinical effects after stimulation

    Patients are asked for perceived clinical effect after stimulation via phone call follow-up

    Time frame: 1 day after intervention (visit 2), monthly until the effect is not persisting anymore or latest at 6 monts (whatever occurrs first)

  11. Safety Outcome

    All Adverse events (AEs): incidence, severity, seriousness, relatedness to device/procedures

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session until the maximal 6 months follow-up period ends

  12. Safety Outcome

    All Device deficiencies: number, type, corrective actions

    Time frame: At visit 1 (Day 1) during the single 30 minutes treatment session until the maximal 6 months follow-up period ends

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Sep 2027, 12 months later.

Of 132 interventional studies with no phase under Peripheral Nervous System Diseases, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 43. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
