Nerve block for nerve pain from diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have nerve pain likely caused by diabetes for at least 6 months
- Have strong pain (average pain score above 4 out of 10) in the last week
- Have testable signs of diabetic nerve problems (sensor changes in the feet and weaker ankle reflexes)
- Not have other possible causes of the same pain that would make it hard to tell what’s causing it
- Be able to understand and speak Danish and be able to follow instructions
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a low dose of naltrexone can reduce painful nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may help people whose diabetic nerve pain did not improve with at least one standard treatment.
This study looks at how blood cell counts change when you receive a nerve-blocking injection for neuropathic pain (nerve damage pain). Researchers want to understand if these blood changes can predict how well the injection will help your pain.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether injecting incobotulinumtoxin-A near painful nerves can reduce nerve-type pain in the feet for people with diabetes. If you have lasting, fairly symmetrical pain in both feet, the injections may help calm the nerve pain signals.
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It is for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who have had moderate-to-severe nerve pain for at least 3 months.
This trial tests a numbing medicine injected near a major leg nerve (femoral nerve) to see if it can reduce pain and improve function for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).
This study looks at how well a numbing shot around the ankle (called an ankle block) works for pain after leg surgery. It compares people with and without diabetes to see if there are any differences in pain relief.
