Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

Given that the tocotrienols have been shown to possess neuroprotective effects and that both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to peripheral neuropathy and cognitive impairment, the present study aims to determine the beneficial effects of tocotrienols in ameliorating such neurological related events in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Sativex® compared with placebo in relieving pain due to Diabetic Neuropathy.

The study aims to compare the effectiveness and tolerability of using lidocaine 5% patch to 8% capsaicin patch in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Assessment of analgesic effectiveness was assessed by observing any change in the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) score, average daily pain Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (BPI-DPN Q4) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). Assessment of capsaicin and lidocaine safety and identifying treatment adverse effects were secondary endpoints in this study

The study will be carried out to determine the effect on pain and quality of life between the groups that received and did not receive foot and ankle exercise training.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether, in individuals with diabetic neuropathy, a low-fat, vegan diet in combination with a vitamin B12 supplement improves pain, sensation and other subjective symptoms, more effectively than a vitamin B12 supplement with no diet changes. The principal measure is pain as measured by the following assessment tools: Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, Norfolk Quality of Life Questionnaire, Neuropathy Impairment Score - Lower Limbs, Neuropathy Total Symptom Score, Neuropathy Pain Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Global Impression Scale. The study duration is 20 weeks. This study also examines the effects of a low-fat, vegan diet on mood, using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Revised, and the Beck Depression Inventory.

By 2020, it is estimated that 3.7 million Canadians will have diabetes mellitus, with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) accounting for more than 90% of cases. Estimates of the prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy among adults with T2DM range from 26% to 47%. It increases with patient age and duration of disease and it can be as high as 60 to 70% in older cohorts. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is documented in most studies as numbness, tingling, pain and/or objective sensory changes. Pain is an early manifestation of neuropathy and may be the presenting symptom of diabetes. Even the best medications and procedures rarely relieve more than 30% of the discomfort of chronic painful conditions. Diabetic patients continue to experience debilitating and disabling pain. Pain affects our ability to work, our ability to participate in recreational activities, our mood and our relationships. It is well-established that an interdisciplinary approach is key to the treatment of some types of chronic pain, but little research has been done on the effectiveness of interdisciplinary treatments for patients suffering from painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The investigators will evaluate the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary approach combining medical treatment and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) to reduce disability and improve quality of life among patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The investigators will also evaluate the impact of the program on psychological distress, pain cognitions, and biomarkers of stress and glycemic function.

To show superior analgesic efficacy of OXN PR in addition to a patient's current dose of pregabalin compared to pregabalin alone.

This study was planned to examine the effect of home-based mini trampoline exercise program on diabetic foot care behavior and diabetic polyneuropathy in Type 2 diabetes patients.

Introduction: Pain relief in diabetic neuropathy is one of the main goals of treatment. Foot reflexology and foot bath, which are two of the important applications of holistic approaches, reduce pain and can significantly increase the quality of life. Objective: In the current study, it was aimed to examine the effects of foot reflexology and foot bath applied to diabetic individuals with neuropathic pain on pain and quality of life. Method: In this randomized controlled study, the sample was randomized into three groups: (I) Foot reflexology (n: 30), (II) Foot bath (n: 30), and (III) Control (n: 30). The "Patient Information Form", "DN4 Pain Questionnaire", "Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality-of-Life questionnaire (NePIQoL)", and "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" were used to collect research data. In the study, a protective sensory examination was also performed with the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament (SWM) Test and the Vibration Test (128 Hz diapason). Apart from these, foot care training was given to all patients included in the practice groups as the role of the diabetes nurse, based on the diabetic foot care training prepared by the Turkish Diabetes Association.
