Re-Energize Fontan
Recruiting
Survival of children with single ventricles ("half a heart") beyond the neonatal period has increased dramatically with the staged Fontan palliation. Yet, long-term morbidity remains high. By the age of 40, 50% of Fontan patients will have died or undergone heart transplantation. With \>1,000 Fontan palliations performed in the US annually, there is a burgeoning population of Fontan patients at risk for progressive heart failure and death. Factors that contribute to onset and progression of hear... Read More

A Physiologic Comparison of Two Approaches to Treating Peripheral Neuropathy
Recruiting
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common and costly microvascular complications of diabetes impacting more than 50% of patients and costing more than 10.1 billion dollars annually. Intraneural Facilitation Therapy (INF® Therapy) is a non-invasive technique that has shown to improve balance and pain in patients with Type 2 Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (T2DPN); however, the underlying physiological mechanisms need further understanding. The purpose of this study is to investigate... Read More
