Filter by:The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 on diabetic individual with painful neuropathy in a tertiary healthcare. The people with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) who have a Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) score ≥4 will be considered eligible in this prospective study. Their serum samples will be subjected to pre-and post-biochemical screening of serum 25 (OH) D and HbA1c. The individual having Vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency will be administered a single dose of oral Vitamin D3 (Soft Gel capsule 200,000 IU), and follow-up for post-biochemical screening after 3 months.
A Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of multiple ascending doses of CNTX-6016 in healthy subjects and a single cohort to evaluate painful diabetic neuropathy.
This is a 12 week, 2-arm, blinded, single-site, placebo-controlled Phase II study in subjects with Type II Diabetes and painful peripheral neuropathy.
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the role of peripheral afferent input for spontaneous pain in painful diabetic polyneuropathy
Diabetes is one of the main health care problemsworldwide with 5% average increased number of cases every year. According to International Diabetes Federation the prevalence of people with diabetes reached the number of 425 million people in 2017 and estimated rising to 628 million by 2045. Painful Diabetic Neuropathy (PDN) is the most common complication of diabetes affecting 90% of the patients. The symptoms of PDN include numbness, burning, stabbing pain, paraesthesia or hyperesthesiaof both symmetrical limbthat could reduce the quality of life. Several studies have found several therapeutic options to cope with pain in the PDN, but the results are not as satisfactory due to the uncertain pathophysiology of the disease and the limitations of the drug that can be administered because of itspolypharmaceutical side effects. The causes of diabetic neuropathy not only include vascular and metabolic factors but also Reactive Oxygen Species. There are several therapeutic options that can be administered such as glycemic index arrangement,foot care, symptomatic treatment, and predominantly pain therapy. According to guidelines, there are drugs therapy thatrecommended for PDN, among others, Gabapentin, Pregabalin and anticonvulsants until the pain subsides. Unfortunately, this treatment is only aimed at relieving the symptoms of existing pain but not working on existing pathophysiological mechanisms and fixing sensory deficits of neuropathy trials. Multi-target treatments is needed to attenuate neuronal inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Additional therapy can be an option to support healing and also the process of metabolic pathophysiology that occurs due to rising glycemic index in the body that causes the work of hexosamine pathway and trigger the formation of ROS and inflammation. There is evidence of research demonstrating the neuroprotective effects of Astaxanthin as oxidative, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic agent. Not only that, Astaxanthin is also a good supplement addition with no toxic effects when consumed, as well as hydrophilic and also lipophilic nature which makes Astaxanthin can penetrate the BBB effectively.
Large population-based study has shown that the prevalence of painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is around 21%, and painful symptoms are more prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes, females, and Asians. PDN is characterized by symmetrical lower limb paresthesiae, dysesthesiae, lancinating pains and allodynia, with nocturnal exacerbation. PDN cause sleep disturbance and reduce quality of life. The international guidelines advocate a range of therapies for symptom relief. The therapeutic efficacy for all recommended medications is at best around 50% pain relief and is limited due to unwanted side effects. Apart from peripheral and central alterations, metabolic alterations such as increased glycemic influx, and elevated plasma methylglyoxal levels have been implicated in the pathogenesis of PDN. Several treatment options for PN are available, including pharmacological, non-pharmacological, and alternative options. Patients suffering from severe and disabling symptoms (e.g. NeP) may require guideline treatments like pregabalin, duloxetine, or gabapentin initially until the symptoms are under control. These medications can symptomatically relieve NeP; however, they do not address the underlying cause. Other options such as neurotropic B vitamins (B1, B6, and B12) do not only target the symptoms, but also improve nerve health and contribute to nerve regeneration. The B vitamins are commonly used for PN treatment in clinical practice worldwide, this treatment option is most suitable before the patient suffers from chronic NeP. However, co-treatment with neurotropic B vitamins is also appropriate in NeP patients, to ensure the restoration of nerve health.
Diabetic neuropathy is one of the micro-vascular complications of diabetes, 30-50% occurring in all diabetic patients. This complication is one of the major cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patientsand leading to a deterioration of their quality life. A deficiency of vitamin D [25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25(OH) D] is common in patient with diabetes and low concentrations are associated with the presence and severity of sensory neuropathy in diabetes. Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be an independent risk factor for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Topical and oral vitamin D have been reported significantly reduce the symptoms and the pain of DPN. However, no case control clinical trial have been reported that demonstrate the efficacy of vitamin D supplementation on the symptoms of DPN. Painful in diabetic neuropathy is a major complication of diabetes, characterized by pain, tingling, burning and cramps in the lower legs and feet with a signification reduction in quality of life. Recently, there shown a significant reduction in the severity of painful diabetic neuropathy after treatment with vitamin D. Patient with diabetes have a poor quality of life compared to person without diabetes. The current study assessed the benefits of add on oral vitamin D 5000 IU on diabetic neuropathy patient to pain impact in daily life.
Diabetes affects more than 30 million people in the United States and is a leading cause of morbidity. Over 25% diabetics also suffer from debilitating painful diabetic neuropathy in the lower legs and feet. This pain can be severe, difficult to control, and have a significant negative impact on quality of life. Opioid medications have historically been a mainstay of treatment for this pain, despite the risks. As the death toll from the U.S. opioid epidemic continues to rise, the need for quality alternative non-opioid medications to treat pain becomes more urgent. One of these potential medications is Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN). This drug is reported to work by enhancing the body's natural pain relieving mechanisms and decreases inflammation by targeting specific cells called microglia which have been shown to influence chronic pain. LDN has been shown to be a safe medication with minimal side effects. Its efficacy has been demonstrated in other painful conditions but has never been fully studied for treating painful diabetic neuropathy. The goal of this randomized, placebo-controlled trial is to determine if LDN is effective for treating the pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. LDN's mechanism of action is well suited to treating painful diabetic neuropathy, and LDN shows significant promise as a safe, non-opioid alternative that can decrease pain and improve quality of life for those suffering from this painful condition.
Observational cohort prospective study with the following of 100 patients of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in 2 groups each group 50 patients, each group 30 males, and 20 females,35 patients with type 2 diabetes and 15 patients type 1 diabetes all have diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the second group is considered as control.
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-center, 12-month phase 2 study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of VM202 as a replacement for opioid analgesics in opioid-tolerant subjects with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
