Clinical Trial Description

Introduction: Diabetic neuropathies are the most prevalent chronic complications of diabetes mellitus. The early recognition and appropriate management of neuropathy in the patient with diabetes is important for patient's quality of life and life expectancy. The clinical symptoms of DPN range from pain and burning sensations (at rest or at night) to hypoesthesia, paresthesia, and/or numbness . Diabetic neuropathy can be axonal or demyelinating and can affect large or small neurons. Schwann cells, which are the most abundant glial cells, act as nerve axon insulators and modulators of neurobiology through their role in metabolic support and injury protection. In diabetic patients, church cells' function is disturbed, leading to loss of glial-axon communication and nerve homeostasis, which leads to fiber loss, neurodegeneration, and pain. Nerve conduction studies can detect these changes; however, there has been no effective therapy for the treatment of DPN until now. Ozone is well known to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects through the inhibition of pro-inflammatory mediators; as well as. stimulation of anti-inflammatory mediators' release . Previous studies showed that Ozone promotes peripheral vascular integrity via induction of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β1) an Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), according with the studies of Professor Bocci that demonstrated significantly increase and release of PDGF, TGF- β1 and VEGF in presence of Ozone . ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
