Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

Part A of this trial is a multi-center, prospective, double-blinded, sham-controlled, randomized clinical trial. Part A will evaluate PEMF treatment compared to sham treatment in patients with painful diabetic distal symmetric peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) when treatment is administered 30 minutes twice daily through a 120-day period (4 months). Part B is a 8-month open-label active treatment extension period designed to collect longer-term data on pain, medication use, quality of life and safety (Part B).Part B of this trial is a an extension period upon completion of Part A.

This prospective double-blind placebo-controlled trial aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of oral dispersible tablet of vitamin B12 for 1 year, in 90 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and neuropathy.

The study aimed to clarify the effect of virtual reality-based balance training on balance in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy compared to conventional physical therapy.

This study is being done to test the safety and efficacy of the study drug LY3016859 for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. This trial is part of the chronic pain master protocol (H0P-MC-CPMP) which is a protocol to accelerate the development of new treatments for chronic pain.

Neurodynamic mobilization Techniques and Selected Physical program used as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy patients and assessed by nerve condition study and function outcome.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is commonly complicated by diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Due to common side effects and poor tolerance to medication, poor adherence to medication is common in diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Botulinum toxin A intradermal injection has proved efficacy in cases of diabetic peripheral neuropathy however there is a need to compare its effect with other lines of treatment. The aim of the study was to compare botulinum toxin type a verses conventional oral treatment as a second line treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This study was conducted as a comparative study on 30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus proved by nerve conduction study on carbamazepine. Patients were divided randomly into 3 groups. First group was add on duloxetine, second was add on gabapentin and the third group was injected intradermal with botulinum toxin A.

Most of the literature found on whole body vibrations(WBV) instead of focal muscle vibrations (FMV) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients. The studies found on the effects of focal vibrations could not be generalised on the huge population of diabetes mellitus (DM) induced neuropathic pain because of small sample size and due to subordinate studies i.e, pilot studies done on the focal vibrations in which 3 different modes of vibrations is used without comparing with the control group. These studies are not much valuable in literature as well as for clinical purposes due to lack of control group. As mentioned in previous studies that better results achieved with the WBV on pain in diabetic peripheral neuropathyso that the hypothesis can be made that when FMV directly applies on the focal region that may influence the pain and/or peripheral neuropathy status.

Investigators propose a placebo controlled, double blinded study to examine efficacy of topical Gelnique 3%TM (3% oxybutynin) daily for 20 weeks) in improving IENF density in type 2 diabetic subjects with established peripheral neuropathy. This site most clearly demonstrated efficacy of topiramate in reversing IENF loss within 18 weeks in our prior study. Subjects will also undergo quantitative sensory testing (QST) and assays of laser Doppler skin blood flow (SkBF), neuropathy total symptom score (NTSS-6), and quality of life (Norfolk QOL-DN), along with standard measures of physiology and fasting blood chemistry. Subjects with IENF loss of between 20-75% of normative values and thus amenable to therapy-induced recovery, will be randomized into placebo (N=30) or active drug (N=30) arms and instructed in how to apply 84 mg Gelnique 3%TM or hydrogel placebo to cover a 2 in2 region of skin adjacent to the initial biopsy site, as per the manufacturers instructions (http://www.gelnique.com/gel3/). Treatment will continue daily for 20 weeks, with monthly phone calls to monitor compliance. After 20 weeks, subjects will return for a second series of measurements and 3 mm skin biopsy from the treated region of skin.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a cognitive behavioural intervention targeting specific fears in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy, on physical activity and quality of life.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of peri-neural platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy compared to traditional medical treatment.
