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

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 a numbing injection (nerve block) in the leg to see if it helps reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to improve pain relief with fewer side effects than stronger medications.
This study compares a numbing gel you put on your skin (lidocaine gel) with a daily oral medication (duloxetine) to see which works better for reducing pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to find a safer or more effective way to ease your pain.
This study looks at how well a numbing injection around the ankle controls pain after surgery, and whether it works differently for people with diabetes compared to those without. If you're having foot or ankle surgery and are willing to provide your medical data, this could help improve pain management for patients like you.
