Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

This study evaluated the effects of interactive video game-based exercise (IVGB) on balance in diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy. Twenty-four patients were randomly assigned to two groups (12 participants per group). Group A received IVGB training for the first 6 weeks, with no exercise in the subsequent 6 weeks. Group B had no exercise for the first 6 weeks and then underwent IVGB training in the subsequent 6 weeks. Both subjective and objective measures were used to determine whether IVGB exercise improves balance function.

A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Multiple Doses of MT-8554 in Subjects with Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Objective: previous studies suggest that botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) can reduce muscle hyperactivity. Research Design and Methods: a single-center, double-blind and placebo-controlled study investigating the efficacy and safety of BoNT/A intramuscular injection for treating calf or foot cramps refractory to common pharmacological drugs in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Fifty patients were subdivided in two matched groups (cases and controls) and BoNT/A (100 or 30 units) was injected for each side into the gastrocnemious or the small flexor foot muscles, respectively, according to the predominance of leg or foot cramps. Responders were evaluated again with a second BoNT/A administration. The changes of pain intensity (primary outcome) and the changes in cramp frequency, the and the Cramp Severity Scale (CSS) were evaluated over the course of 20 weeks after BoNT/A administration.

Aim. To assess the effect of different doses of vitamin D supplementation on peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). 68 patients with T2DM and peripheral neuropathy will be randomized into two treatment groups: cholecalciferol 5,000 IU once/week and cholecalciferol 40,000 IU once/week orally for 24 weeks. Severity of neuropathy (neuropathy symptom score (NSS), neuropathy disability score (NDS), visual analog scale (VAS)), body mass index (BMI), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), 25-hydroxycalciferol (25(OH)D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), serum interleukins (IL) 1β, 6 and 10, C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor α and microcirculation (MC) parameters assessed before and after treatment. The initial and final indicators of the skin blood flow (M, σ, Kv) and MC parameters after postural and occlusal tests by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). Sixteen subjects without diabetes will represent the control group.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) is one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus which accelerates the occurrence of ulceration of diabetic foot and amputation of lower extremities as well as severely affects the quality of life. The treatment of this condition has remained unsatisfactory with a good response to conventional medications. It is now evident that vitamin D deficiency is common in diabetic patients and especially in these patients diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The present research is therefore designed to observe the effect of exogenous administration of vitamin D in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients of Bangladesh.

Background: Inhibiting the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) has been observed to reduce risk of cardiovascular events and kidney failure in type 2 diabetes. The exact mechanisms of the beneficial effects of SGLT2 inhibition (SGLT2i) are still unknown. Kidney hypoxia has been demonstrated in diabetic kidney disease and SGLT2i is thought to relieve hypoxia in the kidneys. Mitochondrial dysfunction and autonomic dysfunction might also contribute to kidney hypoxia. Objective: The primary aim of the study is to assess the acute effects of SGLT2 inhibition on parameters reflecting oxygenation and oxygen consumption of the human kidney in persons with type 1 diabetes. Exploratory aims are to investigate acute changes in oxygen availability and oxygen access to the kidneys after SGLT2i. This include measures of peripheral blood oxygenation, mitochondrial function and autonomic function. Methods: Acute intervention study with oral dapagliflozin given in two doses each of 50 mg or matching placebo as intervention. Kidney oxygenation and perfusion parameters will be assessed by blood-oxygen-dependant level magnetic resonance imaging. Mitochondrial function will be assessed by extracellular flux analysis on lymphocytes. Autonomic function will be assessed by measuring baroreflex sensitivity. Design: Randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over intervention study. Study population: Fifteen healthy controls are recruited by advertisement and 15 patients with type 1 diabetes recruited from Steno Diabetes Center Copenhagen. Endpoints: Primary end-point: Renal cortical and medullary oxygenation (T2*). Exploratory end-points: Renal cortical and medullary perfusion, renal artery flow, renal oxygen consumption, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2), arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), lymphocyte mitochondrial function, baroreflex sensitivity. Timeframe: Inclusion of patients from January 2020. Last patient last visit January 2021. Data analysis completed spring 2021, presentation autumn 2021 and publications Winter 2021.

Clinical trial of "line extension" of drug ARAFARMADOL® 0.075% cream in a new formulation in topical solution applicable in roll-on and with the same therapeutic indications approved for the cream.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Acetyllevocarnitine Hydrochloride Tablets compared with placebo after 24 weeks, in chinese patients with paresthesia caused by Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy and associated complications became globally serious arousing health problems. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Antigravity treadmill training on gait performance and functional balance in patients with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Design: Single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Setting: Outpatient rehabilitation unit. Population: Sixty-eight eligible participants with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy were randomly allocated to Five groups: group-A (100% weight-bearing; n=14), group-B (70% weight-bearing; n=13), group-C (50% weight-bearing; n=14), group-D (30% weight-bearing; n=13), group-E (control group; n=14). Methods: Participants in study groups A, B, C, and D received moderate intensity (50-70% heart rate reserve) aerobic exercise training program on the antigravity treadmill (AlterG, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA) 3 times/week for 12-weeks. The gait performance (using the dynamic gait index) and the functional balance (using the Berg balance scale) variables were evaluated at 3-time points: baseline (evaluation-1), after 12 training weeks (evaluation-2), and 3 months post-training cessation (evaluation-3).

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Quinapril (Q) or Losartan (L) or their combination on definite Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN) and left ventricular systolic and diastolic function (LVF) over a period of 4 years. Patients-methods: Fifty-nine patients with definite DAN [2 or more of the 4 Cardiovascular Reflex Tests (CRTs) were abnormal] were studied for 4 years. Patients were randomly allocated in 3 groups receiving A, 20 mg Q, B, 100 mg L and C, 20 mg Q +100 mg L respectively. CRTs analyzed with Mean Circular Resultant (MCR), Valsalva index, 30:15 ratio and postural hypotension. LV function was investigated with radionuclide ventriculography (RNV) at rest. Ejection fraction was used to assess LV systolic function, while peak filling rate, first third filling fraction, and atrial contribution to ventricular filling were used to investigate LV diastolic function. CRTs and RNV were performed at baseline and after 4 years.
