Filter by:The main objective of this trial is to investigate the effect of an educational booklet foot-related exercise in diabetic neuropathy status, functional outcomes and gait biomechanics in people with diabetic neuropathy.
This is a randomized outpatient, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-site study of the safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of topically administered WST-057 (4% pirenzepine free base monohydrate) for 24 weeks in subjects with T2DM with peripheral neuropathy.
The trial used single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose study. The trial planned to enroll sixty-two healthy volunteers. The subjects were allocated to seven dose groups, including 25 mg (4+2), 50 mg (8+2), 100 mg (8+2), 200 mg (8+2), 400 mg (8+2), 800 mg (6+2) and 1200 mg (6+2). Each dose group was allocated test drugs and placebos according to the proportion of subjects in the brackets mentioned above.
This study is a diagnostic accuracy study that aims to evaluate the role of DTI in evaluation of DPN in comparison to clinical scores and nerve conduction studies (NCS). The study included 30 patients with diabetes mellitus complaining of neuropathy symptoms and 15 healthy volunteers. All subjects underwent evaluation using 1.5T DTI of median nerves and NCS. Patients underwent clinical evaluation using Neuropathy Deficit Score (NDS), Neuropathy Impairment Score in the Lower Limbs (NIS-LL) and Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) score. The values of these tests were compared and correlated and diagnostic accuracy tests were performed together with identification of cut-off score for abnormal diffusion tensor imaging parameters in diabetic neuropathy
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic autoimmune disease, associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The development of cardiomyopathy in type 1 diabetes, independent of hypertension and coronary heart disease, is still controversial. A possible mechanism for diabetic cardiomyopathy is autonomic dysfunction. This study aims to evaluate cardiac function and structure, and to relate them with autonomic dysfunction in type 1 diabetes.
This study was a 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, parallel clinical trial to compare the efficacy of γ-linolenic acid and Thioctic acid in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is categorized by the American College of Cardiology "class IA recommendation" in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) including post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients, who have reduced functional capacity and impaired quality of life. Studies have reported that post-MI patients enrolled in exercise-based CR (EB-CR) show improved functional capacity, significant decrease risk of re-infarction, and 25% reduction in mortality. Aim: To define the effect of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on the outcome measures of exercise based-cardiac rehabilitation (EB-CR) program in post-myocardial infarction (MI) patients with type-II diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Thirty-seven post-MI patients with type-II DM were enrolled in the study within 1-6 months of MI from those referred for cardiac rehabilitation in the cardiac rehabilitation unit, Alexandria Teaching Hospital. Seven patients were lost. Fifteen patients attended 8 weeks of aerobic training program (exercise group; 12 men and 3 women) while 15 patients did not (control group; 11 men and 4 women). The exercise group was assessed for the presence of peripheral neuropathy and patients were accordingly subdivided into those with DPN "group A" and those without "group B". All groups were evaluated at baseline and at the end of the study. Evaluation included Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) questionnaire, 6-minute walk test, and symptom-limited treadmill exercise stress test (EST). Outcome measures included: DASI score; 6-minute walk test distance (6MWD); and heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), rate pressure product (RPP), and functional capacity in metabolic equivalents (METs) measured during EST.
This study was set out 1) Evaluate the impact of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) and DPN-P (Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain) on the overall Quality of Life (QoL) in elderly with Diabetic Mellitus (DM) and 2) Evaluate the association between cognition impairments and DM in the elderly, and the contributions of DPN and/or DPN-P
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of high tone power therapy on neurophysiological measures and function outcome in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
Microcirculatory flow is subject to cyclic changes under the influence of heart rate, respiration, myogenic activity, neurogenic factors and endothelial factors. Microcirculatory oscillations (vasomotion) contribute significantly to tissue perfusion. Vasomotion analysis allowed to discriminate normoglycemic subjects, prediabetic subjects and diabetic subjects. Furthermore, changes in vasomotion can precede the emergence of global signs of microangiopathy complications in type 2 diabetes. In fact, few studies reported impaired vasomotion in type 2 diabetes with peripheral neuropathy. Vasomotion analysis after vasodilator (6-min walking test and hyperthermia) and after vasoconstrictor (foot lowering) stimulus could be an effective diagnostic tool to sharpen the diagnostic. Objectives and Methodology: to study vasomotion at baseline and after exercise, hyperthermia and foot lowering within 3 groups of patients: diabetic without peripheral neuropathy, diabetic with subclinical peripheral neuropathy and diabetic with peripheral neuropathy and one group of sex- age- and body mass index-matched healthy control subjects. All the subjects will benefit from a clinical, anthropometric, level of physical activity and biological evaluations. Type 2 diabetes participants will benefit from neuropathy evaluation. In addition, cutaneous microcirculation (perfusion and vasomotion) by means of Laser Doppler Flowmetry and Laser Speckle Imaging will be recorded at rest and after different stimuli (exercise, hyperthermia and foot lowering).
