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.
To investigate the effect of repeat oral dosing of CNV2197944 75 mg tid on the pain experienced in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) as measured by changes in PI-NRS after three weeks of treatment compared to the baseline period.
The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of nerve decompression on the recovery of the treated nerves. To obtain objective data during surgery of the treated nerves' via electrical signals and muscle power when stimulated. Also, to monitor muscle strength, balance/gait and blood flow in the lower extremity before and after surgery.
Clinical in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) is a relatively new technique of corneal evaluation that permits non-invasive imaging of corneal structures on the cellular level. Precise anatomic characterization of corneal structures, including corneal nerves, can be rapidly performed with high resolution.
The purpose of the study is to determine the beneficial effects of CBX129801 (PEGylated synthetic human C-peptide) following weekly subcutaneous administration for 12 months in type 1 diabetes mellitus patients (T1DM) with mild to moderate diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
This study is designed to assess: Hypothesis #1: That there is a significant central pain component in a distinct subset of patients diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis(KOA), Chronic low back pain(CLBP), painful diabetic neuropathy(PDN.) Hypothesis # 2: To establish a reliable strategy for differentiation of central pain predominant from peripheral pain predominant knee osteoarthritis(KOA), chronic low back pain(CLBP)and peripheral diabetic neuropathy(PDN) patients using clinical features, experimental pain testing and magnetic resonance(MR) Spectroscopy.
The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of a single treatment of Capsaicin 8% transdermal delivery system in reducing pain from damaged nerves (neuropathic pain) caused by diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus type I is an increasing burden for more and younger children. Therapy should avoid long-term complications as macrovascular diseases and diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and diabetic neuropathy (DN). There is considerable uncertainty about the prevalence of DN due to a lack of large epidemiological studies and consensus on diagnostic criteria. Nerve conduction velocity studies are regarded as the "gold standard" for investigating neuropathies. We plan a prospective study by investigating the peripheral nerve conduction velocity in a population of diabetic children. At the same time-points, we will do a neurological examination using the Young Score, a clinical score of peripheral neuropathy [10]. The results obtained will be related to other long-term vascular complications (nephropathy, retinopathy), glycaemic control, duration of diabetes, insulin dose regime, hours of sports/week, and BMI
