Filter by:A Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Multiple Doses of MT-8554 in Subjects with Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is just assessed by determination of Vibration sensation, pressure sensation, superficial pain or temperature. The most commonly used technique for diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy is nervous conduction (NC) and electromyography (EMG). But EMG/NC is bothersome and techniques using electric currents to measure NC and needles to study muscle innervations are uncomfortable. Quantitative NeuroSensory Testing (QST) is essential in the evaluation of small-caliber A-delta and C-fibers, the primary transmitters of thermal and pain sensation. QST can demonstrate neurosensory abnormalities when it is non-invasive test, selective to small fibers despite negative EMG/NCV finding. The investigators predict QST can be used for the early diagnosis and follow-up of small-fiber neuropathy in diabetes patients. The investigators also predict the early evaluation of diabetes neuropathy with QST can reduce the diabetes patient progress to advance stage of DM foot or limb amputation.
To study that 0.075% capsaicin lotion is safe, well tolerated and provide significant pain relief in patients with PDN compared with placebo lotion as a randomized, double- Blind, crossover, placebo-controlled trial
A study to demonstrate the effectiveness of PEMF treatment compared to sham treatment in changing Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) and Thermal Sensory (QST) in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) when treatment is administered twice daily through 120-day period.
The goal of this research is to develop better tools for diagnosing illness of the feet and legs of people who have diabetes. Investigators will use thermal videos of the foot to aid in the refinement of a system designed to detect signs of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The team of investigators will also look at diabetic eye disease and how it might relate to diabetic foot disease.
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.
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.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of the glycemic control of type 2 diabetes (DM2) and of cetirizine (OCTs inhibitor) on gabapentin kinetics disposition and pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) in patients with neuropathic pain. Thus, non-diabetic patients (Control Group, n=10), patients with controlled diabetes (n=9) and patients with uncontrolled diabetes (n=10), all with neuropathic pain of intensity ≥ 4 in pain visual analog scale (0-10) were investigated.
Assessing the use of corneal confocal microscopy to evaluate for early neuropathy changes in subjects with Type 1 Diabetes.
Patients with diabetes mellitus and definite autonomic and peripheral neuropathy were randomized to receive quinapril or no treatment for 2 years.
