Filter by:Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) affects more than 5.5 million people with diabetes. People with painful DPN have trouble sleeping, participating in social events, and conducting daily activities such as going to the store. Several prescription medications are available for the treatment of DPN symptoms, but none work perfectly and all have side effects that may be difficult for some patients. When patients report their symptoms and side effects to their doctor, they provide the doctor with important information to help them make adjustments to treatment that will help with symptoms and that the patient can tolerate in terms of side effects. In some cases, doctors may encourage patients to make these changes on their own at home based on their experience with therapy. However, patients may have a long time between visits to their doctor and may have trouble describing their symptoms to their doctor during a brief 10 to 15 minute visit. This clinical trial explores the possibility of computerized telephone calls to patients (Interactive Voice Response, IVR, technology) to gather information about treatment experiences that can then be reported to the doctor or used to guide patients to make changes in how they take the medication. It addresses the following question: Can routinely asking patients about their experiences with medications and using that information to encourage clinically appropriate titration improve patient quality of life? The investigators hypothesize that systematic collection and feedback of information about DPN treatment preferences and experience from newly treated patients to their primary care physician will facilitate treatment changes that improve patient outcomes
A Randomized, Parallel-controlled, Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Xuebi Prescription Compared With Placebo in the Treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy(Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis)
The objectives of the MEDIAN study are to evaluate the short-term and long-term safety and nutritional benefits of Metanx® versus placebo in subjects with mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Short-term effects will be evaluated during the first 16 weeks of treatment, and long-term effects will be evaluated over the duration of a 48 week treatment period.
Given that the tocotrienols have been shown to possess neuroprotective effects and that both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to peripheral neuropathy and cognitive impairment, the present study aims to determine the beneficial effects of tocotrienols in ameliorating such neurological related events in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether, in individuals with diabetic neuropathy, a low-fat, vegan diet in combination with a vitamin B12 supplement improves pain, sensation and other subjective symptoms, more effectively than a vitamin B12 supplement with no diet changes. The principal measure is pain as measured by the following assessment tools: Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, Norfolk Quality of Life Questionnaire, Neuropathy Impairment Score - Lower Limbs, Neuropathy Total Symptom Score, Neuropathy Pain Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire and Global Impression Scale. The study duration is 20 weeks. This study also examines the effects of a low-fat, vegan diet on mood, using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale-Revised, and the Beck Depression Inventory.
This is a study whose primary objective is to assess the effectiveness of Neuropathy/Ulcer Cream in the promotion of healing skin fissures plantar foot ulcers and as a moisturizer to prevent dry skin turning into ulcers as compared with a placebo cream containing the same vehicle as Neuropathy/Ulcer Cream without the active ingredients (Control).
The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a novel patient education strategy, compared to a standard diabetic foot education. The proposed diabetic foot care education uses personal computer-animated plantar pressure data to educate patients on why and how they should care for their feet.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate if cebranopadol is safe and can decrease pain in patients when compared to placebo (a tablet that does not contain active product) and when compared to a marketed product containing pregabalin (Lyrica®). Furthermore, this trial will be undertaken to find out if the patient's general health and well-being improves under trial treatment. The concentrations of cebranopadol in the blood will be investigated to get a better understanding of how it is absorbed from the gut, distributed and broken down in the body, and eliminated from the body.
This is a 2-part study. In Part 1 of the study, subjects will undergo a pain reporting training program in which a painful stimulus will be applied to the subject's hand, and the subjects will be asked to report how painful the stimulus is. Over the course of the pain training sessions, feedback will be provided to the subject about how accurately they are reporting their degree of pain, relative to the amount of pressure stimulus applied to evoke pain. Those subjects who have adequate pain reporting ability will be asked to continue into Part 2 of the study in which 3 different blinded study drugs will be administered to each subject, in a crossover design to compare whether or not the study drugs improve pain associated with diabetic neuropathy.
The investigators evaluated the effectiveness of the application of analysing treadmill, muscle strengthening and balance training compared to a control intervention in patients with diabetic neuropathy.
