Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

The purpose of this study is to study if sildenafil (Viagra) is effective in improving neuropathic pain. This will be an open label study at 3 doses of sildenafil (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg). If this study suggests efficacy, the information will be used to plan a placebo controlled, double-blind study in the future.

The purpose of this study is to find out if participation in one of the study groups: functional balance training, Tai Chi, or education, results in better outcomes overall. The outcomes that we are primarily interested in are related to walking ability and balance.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of topiramate on clinical and electrophysiological parameters in patients with diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy. The study will also evaluate the safety of topiramate in this patient population.

Phase 2/3 open-label trial to assess the safety and tolerability of long-term treatment with lacosamide (SPM 927) in subjects with painful diabetic neuropathy. The safety and tolerability of the different doses of lacosamide will be investigated.

The purpose of this study is to explore the pain-reieiving effects and safety of tramadol HCl/acetaminophen as compared to placebo in patients experiencing painful diabetic neuropathy. Treatment of neuropathic pain often requires the use of more than one medication. The pain-relieving potential of tramadol HCl/acetaminophen for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy comes from the multiple mechanisms of action in this combination pain medication. Patients who experience painful diabetic neuropathy will be enrolled in this study.

The primary objective of this sudy is to assess the effect of two doses of SSR180575 on the rate of regeneration of epidermal nerve fibers following denervation of the epidermal layer with capsaicin in patients with diabetes mellitus and mild peripheral neuropathy. Secondary objectives are to explore the efficacy of SSR180575 on clinical assessment, nerve function measures and to assess the tolerability and safety of SSR180575. The treatment period is 6 months.

This study will compare the efficacy and the safety of ABT-894 (1mg, 2mg or 4mg capsules) administered BID to placebo in the treatment of DNP. Another treatment arm will be Duloxetine 60mg administered once daily (QD). Approximately 275 subjects will be enrolled into the study at approximately 50 sites in both the United States and Europe. The study will be divided into the following periods: Screening/Washout (21 days) followed by a Baseline Visit, an 8-week Treatment Period and a 1-week Follow-up Visit.

This is a safety and efficacy trial of ranirestat(AS-3201) which is an aldose reductase inhibitor in patients with diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy.

The study is designed to investigate the benefit of adding CBME to the existing treatment regime in the management of painful neuropathy. Hypothesis: The addition of CBME to the existing treatment regime will result in a significant improvement in both primary and secondary outcome measures. The side effect profile and tolerability of CBME will be minimal and comparable to placebo.

The purpose of the study is to study the clinical effects of the investigational drug, SB-509 versus placebo in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
