Theinformation is carefully maintained so that it can be studied repeatedly in the future. The registryaims to help researchers’ access large amounts of information about people with PN. By using thisregistry, researchers will facilitate both basic and clinical research studies that will bring improvedunderstandings of the etiology (origination) and pathogenesis (development) of PN. They willspecifically ask why some patients with peripheral neuropathy develop neuropathic pain and othersdo not, and what the characteristics of patients with painful peripheral neuropathy are in terms oftheir symptoms, examination findings, and blood tests. Ultimately this research may result inimproved diagnosis, more effective treatments, and possibly prevention. Eligibility CriteriaInclusion criteria: 1. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy 2. Chemo-therapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy 3. HIV-induced Peripheral Neuropathy 4. Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy; Exclusion criteria: Any other type of Peripheral Neuropathy Location(s)

This database is called the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute Database or NBTIDB, and it was developed to replace older paper methods for collecting and storing information. The purpose of this study is to allow researchers involved with the NBTIDB to use data stored in it for future research studies and projects. The NBTIDB also allows researchers to track whether or not patients have agreed to allow their information to be linked to their leftover tissue samples, which are kept in the hospital’s pathology department, for future research studies. Eligibility Criteria You may be eligible to take part in the research component of the NBTIDB if you are either a new or returning patient, over the age of 18, who is being seen by one of the clinicians at the NBTI and are or will be entered into the NBTIDB, or a patient who is not coming to the NBTI for evaluation, but would still like to participate in the NBTIDB.
