Brief Summary  

Recent preliminary open labeled observational study conducted by Vaidya et al shows that daily oral dose of 100 mg for 3 months is associated with a reduction in the frequency, intensity, and duration of cramps. In an open labeled study conducted by Kulkarni et al, it was shown that vitamin K2-7 at a dose of 100 mcg twice a day for 8 weeks was well tolerated and safe with a therapeutic activity for the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy.

Based on the results of these studies, the next study which is a follow up study in larger cohort is planned to address the peripheral neuropathy experienced by the patients.

N=100

Evaluation parameters: Efficacy, tolerability and safety of Vitamin K2-7.
