Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

Investigate the safety and efficacy of DS-5565 in Japanese subjects with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain (DPNP) with renal impairment or Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN) with renal impairment.

This study seeks to determine if photobiomodulation (PBM, or low level laser light) affects the growth and distribution of nerves int he skin. Our previous study demonstrated that the treatment we use here was effective at reducing the symptoms of neuropathy (as measured by the modified total neuropathy score) in patients who had been treated with chemotherapy. The current effort is designed to repeat this confirm this observation using a more extensive battery of survey as well as to begin to elucidate the mechanism through which photobiomodulaiton produces the effect. WE will also be attempting to determine if diabetic patients differ in terms of response from chemotherapy patients

A debilitating consequence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is neuropathy which globally affects between 20 -30% of diabetic patients and up to 50% in other studies. The incidence of diabetic neuropathy (DN) is estimated to be up to 45% for type 2 diabetic patients and 59% for type 1diabetic patients in USA.(DN) is the most common complication of DM.The pathophysiology of DN is promoted by several risk factors: micro vascular disease, neural hypoxia, and hyperglycemia-induced effects.At the molecular level, the primary cause of diabetic complications is known to be hyperglycemia, which disrupts cellular metabolism by the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).In the aspect of nerve functions, ROS formation increases neuron's susceptibility to damage. In addition, hyperglycemia impedes production of angiogenic and neurotrophic growth factors, which are necessary for normal function of neurons and glial cells and maintenance of vascular structure.No definitive disease-modifying treatments have been to reverse DN. The current treatment focuses on tight glycemic control which can reduce potential risk factors for further nerve damage and DN-associated pain management.In many studies, deficiency of neurotrophic factors and lack of vascular support have been regarded as key factors in the development DN.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are particularly attractive therapeutic agents because of their ability to self-renew, differentiate into multi lineage cell types, and locally secrete angiogenic cytokines, including basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) .These factors were reported to prompt neovascularization and have support for neural regeneration.It was plausible that MSCs may also be an effective therapeutic agent for the DN treatment through the paracrine effects of bFGF (Shibata et al., 2008) and VEGF and their potential to differentiate into neural cells such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes , and Schwann cells.The adherent nature of MSCs makes them easy to expand in culture and an attractive candidate to use in cell therapy.Therefore, cell therapy has recently emerged as an attractive therapeutic strategy to meet the needs of both neurotrophic and vascular deficiencies of DN.Proper diagnosis of DN depends on the pattern of sensory loss, reflex test, electrodiagnostic studies, and imaging

The primary objective of the study is to collect preliminary information on the effect of three doses of trazodone/gabapentin FDC products on pain intensity in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy after 8-week treatment period.

The purpose of this graduate student research study is to explore the effects of a new treatment known as Intraneural facilitation (INF) on Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 (DMT2) subjects who have moderate - severe below ankle neuropathy symptoms. Since INF has shown success in the clinic and significant improvements have been found in a recent pilot study, this study aims to further explore these effects on DMT2 subjects suffering from DPN. The investigators would like to investigate if INF improves blood flow in the foot, if it decreases the pain and improves the sensation, and if it improves the overall quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to explore the overall safety profile and durability of efficacy of Engensis (VM202) in painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. All subjects still in follow-up for the VMDN-003 study or who have completed the Day 270 visit within the prior 90 days will be approached to enroll in the long-term safety extension study.

The main objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of a customized foot-related exercises software (SOPeD) in diabetic neuropathy status, functional outcomes and gait biomechanics in people with diabetic neuropathy.

The purpose of the DAN-VNS study is to investigate the effects of non-invasive vagal nerve stimulation on gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and diarrhea in people with diabetes.

This study evaluates the efficacy of balance training in Diabetic Neuropathy. Control group will receive general exercises while Eperimental/ Interventional group will receive Balance exercises along with general exercises.
