This was a single arm study to assess the ability of the Medic Shoe to improve foot
symptoms. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from Baseline week (day -
7 to day 1) to week 4 (day 23-30) in the weekly average daily pain intensity as
measured on an 11- point numerical pain scale (NPS). In previous studies with the
Medic shoe pain scores were not assessed but change in foot symptoms by a
questionnaire and changes in total peripheral resistance. Also, change in sleep

pattern, blood pressure changes and other cardiac function parameters have been
assessed but not pain score. Consequently, we chose a sample of N=60 aiming to
optimize clinical and statistical considerations for this preliminary estimation.
Based on the reference by John Farrar (John T. Farrar et al. 2001) that on average, a
reduction of approximately two points in the NPS represents a clinically important
difference, a total of 60 subjects with 2 points reduction, standard deviation (SD)
between 1 to 5, alpha of 0.05 The study will provide the power between 86% to
almost 100%.

Subjects signed informed consent and met inclusion/exclusion criteria underwent a
full medical history and examination including blood pressure measurement, heart
rate and ECG. A full neurological assessment was performed, testing motor,
sensation and reflexes.
DN4 criteria assessment were performed to estimate the probability of neuropathic
pain.
Average DPN pain intensity on a 11-point numerical pain scale (NPS) according to
last week was performed. This was required to be between 4 and 9.
HbA1c was measured. A pregnancy test was performed on women child birth
potential (WOCBP).
Medic Shoes appropriate size was supplied with instructions to wear for 15 min twice
daily on awakening and at bedtime. The subjects were instructed to turn both shoes
on (green light was turned on). Remote control was not supplied to activate vibration
during the first week.
During the one week run –in period subjects were provided with diary to record the
following. If the subject was enrolled at Day 1 diary completion continues as also
indicated below until day 30.
At day 1 +/- 2 Subjects met criteria for median pain severity (4 to 9) in the weekly
average daily pain intensity on an 11-point numerical pain scale NPS were enrolled
and issued with the remote control for the Medic Shoes to use at home.

First treatment was given for 15 min at the clinic. BP was measured before (after a 5-
minute rest period) and after shoe use while patient was in supine state.
Shoes were used for 15 minutes twice daily for 30 days. 15 min in the morning after
rising and 15 min at night before going to bed.
Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score was completed.
DN4 criteria was repeated.
Subjects continued diary completion as detailed above.
Telephonic contact was made at day 15 to ensure compliance and to see if any adverse
events or technical difficulties.
Subjects were followed up at day 30 to assess compliance with Medic Shoe use,
changes in pain intensity and sleep quality.
DN4 criteria was assessed at day 30.
Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score was completed.
Blood was taken to measure HbA1c. Subjects were instructed not to use the shoe on
the morning of the visit and to bring the shoes and diaries with them. Blood pressure
in the supine position before (after 5 minutes rest) and after 15 minutes shoe use was
also assessed.
Adverse events and rescue medication taken were reviewed.
Based on doctor and subject decision ongoing treatment continued after day 30.
If Medic Shoe use was not to be continued –this was the end of study visits.
From that point, diary was completed on a weekly basis. Average and maximum daily
pain intensity as measured on a 11-point numerical pain scale NPS was recorded
weekly (weekly average) in the evening until day 82. Sleep interference based on a 11-
point numerical scale was recorded every morning for thirty days and weekly (weekly
average) if subject continued until 82 days. Average and maximum daily pain scores
and sleep interference scores were in addition recorded daily for week 12 (day 83-90)
Adverse events and compliance were also recorded daily until Day 30 and again during
week 12 (days 83-90)

Subjects continued with Medic shoes had a final visit on day 90 to assess compliance
with Medic Shoe use, changes in pain intensity and sleep quality.
Changes in HbA1c and blood pressure were also assessed.
Adverse events and rescue medication used were reviewed.
DN4 was assessed.
Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score was completed.
Post study use of shoes was on decision of subject and investigator.

Pic. 1 The Medic Shoes
The safety analysis set consisted of all subjects who used the Medic Shoes with
vibration at least once even if for less than 15 minutes of use.
The primary efficacy analysis set was based on the intent to treat (ITT) cohort. All
subjects who used the Medic shoe at least once and had at least one assessment of
the primary efficacy endpoint post first use (with vibration, Day 1).
The secondary efficacy analysis set was based on the per protocol (PP) cohort.
12
Stattistical Analysis Report Protocol: MS-1
Confidential
Subjects who met inclusion and inclusion criteria and fulfilled the study protocol
requirements in terms of device use (i.e. A fully compliant subject was regarded as use
of shoes 12 times per week) and collection of primary efficacy data and without major
deviations that may affect study results.
For all analyses, patients not having a valid post-device use (with vibration) value for
a particular endpoint will be excluded from the relevant analysis.
The primary endpoint is the change from the baseline week (day -7 to day 1) to week
4 (day 23-30) in the weekly average daily pain intensity as measured on an 11-point (0
to 10) Numerical Pain Score (NPS).
The changes are the difference between the 2 visits. To test significance of the change,
the paired t-test would have been used. However, the change did not conform to
Normal theory so the Wilcoxon Sign-rank Test was applied.
1.8.1.4 Safety
The safety analysis was descriptive and narrative in nature, with SAEs and related AEs
tabulated by body system, preferred term, severity and relation to procedure.

Except for these 11 screen/run-in failures subjects all other 47 subjects received the
remote control of the shoes to continue to the primary endpoint period, follow up
(FU) of 30 days.
[Note: Site staff were allowed to provide the remote also to subjects that were
excluded following visit 2. A total of 49 remotes were dispensed; 47 to eligible
subjects and 2 to screen failures (subjects: 01-020, 02-025)].
Forty-Two (42) subjects, out of 47 that continued to day 30, came to visit 4; Day 30
(primary endpoint timepoint).
Five (5) subjects, out of 47, did not come to visit 4 due to different reasons; 3 due to
AE (subjects: 01-014, 02-012, 02-016), 1 due to no compliance (Subject 02-009), 1
due to Investigator decision (subject 01-010). Therefore, there is no data of the daily
average pain using NPS during weeks 1-4 for these 5 subjects.
Forty (40) subjects, out of 47 reported the week 4 weekly AVERAGE daily pain
intensity measured using NPS as required for the primary end-point.

2.7 Analysis
2.7.1 Primary endpoint analysis
The primary effectiveness endpoint of the study was the Change from the baseline
week (day-7 to day 1) to week 4 (day 23-30) in the weekly average daily pain
intensity as measured on a 11-point (0 to 10) numerical pain scale (NPS)

during the study and had at least one primary efficacy assessment post device use
(with vibration).
The mean weekly average daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at baseline
was 6.13 ± 1.30 points
The mean weekly average daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at week 4 was
4.57 ± 2.20 points
A decrease of 1.55 ± 1.90 points was obtained. The decrease was significant; p-
value<0.0001
The Kolmogorov -Smirnov method was used to confirm or reject normal theory for
the change. The test obtained non significance (p=0.06) so the null hypothesis for
normal distribution was not rejected and therefore the paired t-test was used to
assess change significance.
The mean weekly average daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at baseline
was 6.12 ± 1.24 points
The mean weekly average daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at week 4 was
4.56 ± 2.22 points
A decrease of 1.55 ± 2.00 points was obtained. The decrease was significance.

Paired t-test p-value <0.0001.
1) Change from the baseline week (day-7 to day 1) to week 4 (day 23-30) in the
weekly maximum daily pain intensity as measured on a 11-point numerical pain
scale (NPS)
The change is the difference between the weekly maximal daily pain intensity
measured during the Run-in week, reported at visit 2 and the weekly maximal daily
pain intensity reported at visit 4 for week 4.
The Kolmogorov -Smirnov method was used to confirm or reject normal theory for
the change. The test obtained non- significance (p=0.2) so the null hypothesis for
normal distribution was not rejected and therefore the paired t-test was used to
assess change significance.
Forty-two (42) subjects had the weekly maximal daily pain intensity result (LOCF was
used for 2 subjects).
The mean weekly maximal daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at baseline
was 6.85 ± 1.45 points
The mean weekly maximal daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at week 4
was 4.95 ± 2.32 points
A decrease of 1.90 ± 2.26 points was obtained. The decrease was significance; p-
value <0.0001

2) Changes from baseline week (day-7 to day 1) to week 12 (day 83-90) in the
weekly average and maximum daily pain intensity as measured on a 11-point
numerical pain scale (NPS)
Ten (10) subjects continued to 12 weeks of follow up. Only 9 of them completed the
whole 12 weeks FU period. One subject did not provide his follow-up diary as he lost
it, so the data of 8 subjects is presented for the 12 months FU analysis.
The change from Baseline to week 12 in the average and Maximum daily pain had
shown a non -significant decrease.
The average daily pain intensity decrease was 1.01 ± 1.68 (p=0.12) (5.54 points at
baseline to 4.53 points at week 12)
The maximum daily pain intensity decrease was 0.60 ± 1.55 (p=0.30) (6.46 points at
baseline to 5.86 points at week 12)
3) Changes from end of baseline day 1 to day 30 and day 90 in Short-Form McGill
Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) score.
The Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire was provided to the patients at Day 1,
Week 4 (primary endpoint) and week 12. The form is constructed of 3 sections.
Section A: 15 questions described patients feeling of pain graded from 0 (None) to 3
(Severe); total of 4 grades.
Section B: A line represents pain of increasing intensity from “no pain” to “worst
possible pain”. The patient should have placed a vertical line (|) across the line in the
position that best describes his pain during the past 7 days. Then, the investigator
used a ruler to measure and score the line from 0 to 100 mm.
Section C: Present of pain intensity from “No Pain” to “Excruciating”; total of 6
grades 0-5.
Results:
Section A- The sum of the 15 questions grade was calculated at Baseline, Week 4
and week 12. The change between baseline and each of the visits was calculated.

A significant decrease was obtained between baseline and week 4; 3.10 ± 8.80 points
(absolute value; 17.45 points at baseline and 14.36 points at week 4), p=0.03, n=42.
A non-significant decrease 2.90 ± 11.86 points was obtained after 12 weeks
(absolute value; 17.41 points at baseline and 14.70 points at week 12), p=0.86, n=10.
Section B-
The change variability from Baseline to week 4 and week 12 was wide. Therefore, a
non- significant decrease was obtained at both FU visits (Week 4; D30 and week 12;
D90). The average decrease standard deviation minimum maximum and p-value are
presented in table 4 for each visit.

DN4 questionnaire was completed in an interview with the patient by the physician
on pain characteristics. The total score is 10. It was expected to see a significant
decrease following treatment.
A significant decrease of 1.38 ± 1.79 points was obtained in DN4 from Baseline (Day
1) to Day 30 (week 4, n=42). 5.90 points at Baseline to 4.52 points at week 4,
P<0.0001, non-parametric test. Total Score decreased at 27 subjects and increased
at 3 subjects, 12 subjects had no change.
A non-significant decrease was obtained after 12 weeks, 0.80 ± 1.40 (p=0.10, n=10).
5.00 points at Baseline to 4.20 points at week 12
5) Changes from baseline week (day -7 to day 1) to week 4(day 23-30) and week
12 (day 83-90) in the weekly average daily sleep interference score.
Data of daily sleep interreference from baseline to week 4 was received from 42
subjects. A significant decrease of 0.87 ± 2.50 (p=0.009) points was obtained . 4.67
points at baseline to 3.80 points at week 4, n=42.
Data of daily sleep interreference from baseline to week 12 was received from 8
subjects. A non-significant decrease of 0.90 ± 1.44 (p=0.12) was obtained . 5.09 points
at baseline to 4.19 points at week 12, n=10.
6) Changes from baseline week (day -7 to day 1) to week 4(day 23-30) and week 12
(days 83-90) in weekly consumption of rescue analgesics (i.e. number of
paracetamol 500mg tablets taken per week)
Data of rescue analgesics were asked to be recorded by the subjects in their diaries.
However, the data was not recorded properly and the study coordinators could not
record informative data in the CRF as required. Subjects who used paracetamol
reported dose of 500mg “as needed”.

7) Changes in blood pressure in hypertensive subjects from baseline day 1 to day
30 and day 90
At day 1 visit (Baseline) and Day 30, blood pressure was measured in the supine
position before (after 5 minutes rest) and after 15 minutes shoe use in the clinic.
At day 90 blood pressure was assessed once in the clinic during the visit.
The measurements used to compute the change in blood pressure from baseline day
1 to day 30 were the measurement before shoe use in the clinic at baseline and the
measurement after shoe use in the clinic at day 30.
The measurements obtained showed no change. The paired t-test was used to assess
significance.
Table 6 presents the measurements changes (and absolute measurements at each
time point in brackets) for Hypertensive subjects only.
Hypertensive subjects were defined by the investigator in a separate yes/no
question in the CRF and based on the subject’s medical history.
A total of 30 subjects were defined as hypertensive within the ITT cohort.
Results are presented for the Systolic blood pressure (BP) and Diastolic BP
separately.

The secondary efficacy analysis set was based on the per protocol (PP) cohort.
33 Subjects who met inclusion and inclusion criteria and fulfilled the study protocol
requirements in terms of device use (i.e. A fully compliant subject was regarded as use
of shoes 12 times per week) and collection of primary efficacy data and without major
deviations that may affect study results were included in the week 4 analysis. As for
week 12, there is no change in number of patients between the ITT cohort and the PP
cohort. Therefore, secondary endpoint for the PP cohort will be presented in this
section only for the week 4 (Day 30) analysis.
1) Change from the baseline week (day-7 to day 1) to week 4 (day 23-30) in the
weekly maximum daily pain intensity as measured on a 11-point numerical pain
scale (NPS)
The change is the difference between the weekly maximal daily pain intensity
measured during the Run-in week, reported at visit 2 and the weekly maximal daily
pain intensity reported at visit 4 for week 4.
The Kolmogorov -Smirnov method was used to confirm or reject normal theory for
the change. The test obtained non- significance (p=0.2) so the null hypothesis for
normal distribution was not rejected and therefore the paired t-test was used to
assess change significance.
The mean weekly maximal daily pain intensity measured using the NPS at baseline
was 6.81 ± 1.30 points

2.7.4 Device deficiencies
Device Deficiency was reported by the patients during the study. Most of the
complaints were charging issues, shoes not working. The complaints were reported
to the Sponsor who immediately changed the shoes. An internal analysis was done
by the company and it was decided to provide a spare pair of shoes to each patient
to avoid treatment non-compliance due to technical issues.

3 Overall conclusions
Effectiveness Analysis:
The use of Medic Shoes has shown a significant improvement in the mean weekly
average daily pain intensity measured using the NPS. The primary endpoint.
Improvements were shown also in the maximal daily pain intensity measured using
NPS, DN4 questionnaire, sleep interference score and Short McGill Questionnaires (at
section A and C).
No changes were obtained in Blood pressure and HbA1c parameters.
Changes in rescue medication could not be assessed due to an uninformative records
in the patients’ diaries…
Improvements were obtained at week 4, the primary endpoints visit.
Results for Intention to treat (ITT) and Per protocol (PP) have shown the same trend.
Only 10 subjects achieved week 12 of FU, therefore, most of the results did not show
statistical significance changes. A further investigation for the long term period is
required to conclude.
Safety Analysis:
The device has been shown to be safe without significant side effects.
SAEs reported were not related to the device.
