Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

This is a 12 week, 2-arm, blinded, single-site, placebo-controlled Phase II study in subjects with Type II Diabetes and painful peripheral neuropathy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of MT-8554, compared to placebo, in subjects with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

One of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus is diabetic polyneuropathy, which leads to disability and reduces quality of life. The toxic effects of high glucose concentrations contribute to the formation of ketoaldehyde free radicals, which, at an increased rate of their formation, leads to the development of oxidative stress in the nervous tissue. The planned study of the use of Cytoflavin® in diabetic polyneuropathy is substantiated by its antioxidant effect, which, by analogy with alpha-lipoic acid preparations, suggests its efficacy in the combined treatment of such patients. This clinical study is being conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of Cytoflavin® versus Placebo in diabetic polyneuropathy patients with type 2 diabetes. Study patients will receive study medication, 10 IV infusions followed by 75 days of oral intake. Clinical efficacy will be assessed by alleviation of symptoms (burning, numbness, pain and pricking), using the total symptoms score(TSS), after the completion of the treatment course.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether phyllanthus niruri and sida cordifolia are effective in treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy compared to placebo. Also two different administration forms (extract capsules and crude herbs) are used to find out whether there are differences in efficiency and compliance.

The purpose of this study is to assess the painkilling efficacy of ASP8477 relative to mock (placebo) in patients that have been diagnosed with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy or postherpetic neuralgia determined by the change in the average daily pain intensity in patients that initially respond favorably to treatment with ASP8477.

The purpose of the study is to determine the beneficial effects of CBX129801 (PEGylated synthetic human C-peptide) following weekly subcutaneous administration for 12 months in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients (T1DM) with mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) represents a diffuse symmetric and length-dependent injury to peripheral nerves that has major implications on quality of life (QOL), morbidity, and costs from a public health perspective. Painful diabetic neuropathy affects approximately 16% of patients with diabetes. Pharmacological agents used in the management of painful DPN mainly include tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, opioid, and anti epileptic drugs. The available treatment options do not give total relief, are not effective in all patients, and only about one-third of patients may achieve more than 50% pain relief. Hence newer therapies are required for the treatment of DPN. The primary outcome measures will be the change from baseline to end of treatment in the mean 24-hour average pain intensity.

Metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, glucose intolerance and possibly metabolic syndrome can induce a peripheral neuropathy. To investigate the effect of physical training and diet education on neuropathic symptoms and neurophysiological parameters of patients with metabolic neuropathies.

Aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of transcutaneous frequency modulated electromagnetic neural stimulation (FREMS) to treat symptomatic peripheral neuropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers are reported to be 15% in patients who suffer from diabetes and ulcerations are present in 84% of all diabetes-related amputations. Peripheral neuropathy leading to unperceived trauma seems to be the major cause of diabetic foot ulcers with 45-60% of ulcers to be considered merely neuropathic and 45% of mixed, neuropathic and ischemic etiology. Ulceration of lower limb is one of the most common complications related with diabetes and one of the major causes for hospitalization of diabetic patients. The most significant contributors to diabetic lower limb ulceration are neuropathy, deformity, uncontrolled elevated plantar pressure, poor glycemic status, peripheral vascular disease, male gender and duration of diabetes. Treatment of lower limb ulcers imposes an enormous burden on health care resources worldwide, and at least 33% of all expenses are spent to treat diabetic ulcers manifested as a complication of diabetes. Although at least 170 topical wound care products are available, evidence of the superiority of one over another is tenuous, well-designed randomized, controlled trials are rare, and the number of case-control or observational studies is limited. In recent years, salve prepared from Norway spruce (Picea abies) resin has successfully been used in medical context to treat both acute and chronic wounds and ulcers of various origins. The objective of this prospective, randomized and controlled clinical trial is to investigate healing rate and healing time of neuropathic diabetic foot ulcer in patients, who are suffering from infected fore- or mid-foot ulceration (PEDIS-classification ≥ Grade II; 19) originated from Type I or II diabetes, and in patients whose diabetic ulcerations are candidates for topical treatment with resin (Study treatment) or octenidine (Control treatment). In addition, factors contributing with delayed healing of ulceration, antimicrobial properties, safety and cost-effectiveness of the resin salve treatment and control treatment will be analyzed.
