"Peripheral Nerve Block Implant to Prevent and Treat Painful Neuromas in Amputees"
Our goal is to manufacture a device that will control the direction of nerve to growth towards a dead end target area, thus preventing neuroma formation. We have established an animal model that can be used to test neuroma formation prevention as well as to evaluate pain elicited by either mechanical, thermal or by radio waves.
Since our proposal is translational in nature, we are looking forward to have input form the amputee population, specifically in the type of neuromas, number of resections or different treatments tried to date, and if with a painful neuroma; the type and level of pain. We will much appreciate if we can have the opportunity to ask some general questions to some of them so that we can add it as supportive evidence in our proposal. The proposal is due on July 18th. This data will inform our design and will contribute to the proposal next phase, which will eventually be a feasibility clinical trial.
