Active clinical trials for "Diabetic Neuropathies"

This is a population-based study of type 2 diabetes patients with and without neuropathy recruited from the Danish National Type 2 Diabetes cohort (DD2). Diabetic patients with neuropathy may suffer from incapacitating symptoms such as pain, muscle weakness and impaired balance. Muscle weakness may cause reduced balance and postural instability increasing the risk of frequent falls and thereby increased morbidity and mortality. Thus, diabetic neuropathy is associated with significant disabilities having major impact on activities of daily living and quality of life. The effects of resistance training on neuropathy symptoms, muscle strength and muscle structure in patients with and with diabetic neuropathy will be examined.

The aim of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trail to compare and analyze the effects of both whole body vibrator (WBV) and Tai Chi program on static and dynamic postural balance variables of the diabetic population. The purpose of the study is to determine that whether whole body vibrator is more evident for promoting functional independency and improving balance in diabetic neuropathy. Hence distinguishing choices to prevent fall and advancing functional independency by using the appropriate intervention without using extreme loads.

The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of a 10-week exercise program on nerve function and number of nerve fibers in the skin in the lower leg in people with diabetic neuropathy.

This study is to investigate the effects of task-based biofeedback training compared with home-based programs on sensorimotor function and quality of life for diabetic patients with neuropathic hands. The investigators hypothesize that the task-based biofeedback training might have significant effectiveness for restoration of sensory function, precision pinch performance, hand dexterity and life quality for patients with diabetic neuropathy.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of a newer form of non-invasive brain stimulation (called transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS) as a treatment in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy to examine its effects on their understanding of their pain experience.

The purpose of this study is to assess the ability of Evoked Pain Training (EPT) and Drug/ Placebo Administration (DPA) training to increase subjects' ability to discriminate between active and placebo treatments in a double-blind crossover trial of a known analgesic, measured by standardized effect size, relative to untrained control subjects.

This is an amendment to study posting NCT00970060. Based on preliminary results from that study is was determined there needs to be a follow-up exercise intervention study. This study has two additional aims than the original study. The objectives are to determine is a prolonged exercise routine, 16-weeks, paired with refined measures of effectiveness positively impact people with diabetic neuropathy.

People with diabetes can have nerve damage in their extremities (peripheral neuropathy), and this can lead them to being less able to maintain their balance when they are standing, walking or performing complex movement tasks in their day-to-day life. This results in them being more prone to falls, and consequent injuries. The purpose of this study is to determine whether providing strength and balance retraining (in the form of specific physical exercises or activities) can help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy regain their ability to maintain their balance, increase their confidence in performing balance-based activities and improve their quality of life.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is the common complication seen in the diabetic patients. Moreover, it will lead to another complication as disabilities and difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL). Most of the intervention for diabetes and diabetic neuropathic patients are mostly focusing on the prevention of foot ulcer. Diabetic foot care can prevent only for diabetes-related foot ulcer and foot amputation. It cannot be reduced DPN and cannot be improved the activities of daily living of the patient with DPN. Moreover, there is the restriction of weight-bearing exercise on the recommendation of exercises for the patients with DPN. Therefore, exercise program which may be suitable for all the patients with DPN was introduced in this study to improve ADL and decrease the neuropathic symptoms in the diabetic patients. Compliance with exercise or intervention is not only critical to get adherence but also for the long-term use of its. Easy to do exercise in the short duration which can able to do on their own in their home promote their compliance and adherence to the exercises. In this study, the effectiveness of exercises in the patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy was examined to fulfill the requirement of exercises which is simple and can be done in a short time. The objective of the study is to examine the effectiveness of exercise in the patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

To evaluate the efficacy of multiple dose levels of NYX-2925 versus placebo in treating the neuropathic pain associated with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
