NCT ID: NCT02107469 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetic Neuropathies

A Study of Phyllanthus Niruri and Sida Cordifolia in Diabetic Peripheral Polyneuropathy

VEDICINE
Start date: June 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine whether phyllanthus niruri and sida cordifolia are effective in treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy compared to placebo. Also two different administration forms (extract capsules and crude herbs) are used to find out whether there are differences in efficiency and compliance.

NCT ID: NCT00539175 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetic Polyneuropathy

Treatment of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy With Photon Stimulation

Start date: October 2004
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

1. Objectives: 1. To assess the efficacy of Photon Stimulation compared with placebo, in treating the pain of diabetic neuropathy. 2. To show that Photonic Stimulation for the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy is cost effective compared to traditional medical interventions. The latter will be explored by an extensive search of the literature and from an equal number of patients being treated in traditional medical practices using traditional medical interventions. At the conclusion of the study the data will be analyzed for cost-benefits and the possibility of crafting a best-practices approach to treat these syndromes that cost billions of dollars a year in health care expenses and lost productivity. 2. Research Design This is a double blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled study of 120 patients with painful diabetic neuropathy. These 120 will be randomly assigned treatments utilizing Photon Therapy, using a defined treatment protocol. We expect that some patients will drop out, and our goal is 100 treated patients, for statistical purposes. The Photon Therapy group will be split into two groups, one group that receives Active Photon Therapy and one group that will be treated with the same type of equipment that has been modified to emit no infrared photons (Non Active Photon Therapy Group ("Placebo")). The patients in the "Non Active Photon Therapy Group" will be offered an Active Photon Treatment Session after completion of the study. The patients in the Photon Therapy Groups will be randomized. There will also be an Historical Control Group of patients, fifty, will have received traditional medical interventions (e.g., narcotics, seizure medications) in traditional medical practices. Data from these individuals will be used to calculate potential cost savings. 3. Methodology: Subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and have signed a valid informed consent will be eligible to participate in the study. After screening, subjects in the Photon Therapy groups (both active and nonactive) will undergo four treatment sessions. The first treatment session will vary from the second, third and fourth. During all treatment session, each patient will be imaged with the TIP Infrared Camera before, and after treatment. Infrared imaging can visualize skin temperature changes in a noninvasive manner (2). The first treatment will utilize slightly different protocol than subsequent visits, reduced Photon dosage, 120 instead of 240 joules. Proprioception and protective sensation, characterized by the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test, and visual and analog pain scoring will also be evaluated before and after each Photon Therapy treatment. 4. Finding: To date, we have just completed 120 patients, using a block randomization scheme not previously reported in this field. We have collected data on nerve function, pain, quality of life, and skin circulation. The data will remain stored until the study is complete to preserve the blinded nature of the project. Data analysis is still incomplete. 4. Clinical Significance Diabetic neuropathy is a chronic and progressive condition that potentially leads to disabling pain, and worse, amputation, for many individuals in the United States each year. Present treatments utilize antiseizure medications, opiate analgesics, and antidepressants, and are inconsistently effective. Development of a new treatment strategy potentially could have significant benefit for a great many patients.

NCT ID: NCT00507936 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetic Neuropathies

Safety and Efficacy Study in Subjects With Diabetic Neuropathic Pain

Start date: August 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study will compare the efficacy and the safety of ABT-894 (1mg, 2mg or 4mg capsules) administered BID to placebo in the treatment of DNP. Another treatment arm will be Duloxetine 60mg administered once daily (QD). Approximately 275 subjects will be enrolled into the study at approximately 50 sites in both the United States and Europe. The study will be divided into the following periods: Screening/Washout (21 days) followed by a Baseline Visit, an 8-week Treatment Period and a 1-week Follow-up Visit.

NCT ID: NCT00501202 Completed - Clinical trials for Diabetic Polyneuropathy

Study for Safety and Effectiveness of RWJ-333369 (Carsibamate) for the Treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).

Start date: March 2007
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of 200 mg of RWJ-333369 given twice daily by mouth compared with placebo in the treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN).
