Collaborator: Adelson Medical Research Foundation

Purpose

Evaluate the effects of a nutritional supplement called nicotinamide riboside in preventing small fiber nerve degeneration that is experimentally induced by applying capsaicin to skin in otherwise healthy study participants. Furthermore, the effects on nerve regeneration will also be evaluated.
