Study of nerve damage in children with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This observational study looks at how often and what kind of nerve problems (neuropathy) happen in children with diabetes. It does not appear to be testing a new medicine, but it may help doctors understand nerve risk and how best to monitor it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how well blood sugar is controlled in people with diabetes-related nerve damage, and measures how nerve signals travel through the leg. The goal is to understand whether better blood sugar control helps improve nerve function.
This study looks at how diabetes affects nerves, including those that control automatic functions like sweating and heart rate. Researchers will use ultrasound and electrical tests to check for nerve damage in people with diabetes, and compare results to healthy volunteers.
This trial looks for and studies early nerve problems in the feet or legs that can happen with diabetes, before nerve damage is clearly diagnosed. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and understand early changes.
This study uses ultrasound to examine nerves in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their legs or feet. Researchers will compare ultrasound findings with blood tests to understand why some people develop this complication and how to better detect it early.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
This study uses ultrasound (an imaging test) to measure the nerves in the legs of people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage. It helps doctors learn more about how diabetes affects nerves.
