An Evaluation of the Effect of the Erchonia® EVRL™ for Prescription Home Use Application in Providing Temporary Relief From Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy Foot Pain
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine the effectiveness of the Erchonia® EVRL™, manufactured by Erchonia Corporation (the Company), in providing prescription home use application for temporary relief of idiopathic neuropathy foot pain in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic neuropathy by a suitably qualified and licensed health professional.
• Previously diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy by a suitably qualified and licensed health professional within the past 6 months.

• Constant feet pain on-going over at least the past 3 months
• Subjects using analgesics (pain medication) must be on a stable analgesic regimen (i.e., no changes to the prescribed analgesic regimen) over a period of at least 14 days prior to study enrollment; and be willing and able to not have planned upward dose titration of analgesics during the study period. Decreasing frequency of analgesic use during the study is permitted. Cannabis prescribed for medicinal purposes qualifies as an analgesic in this context
