Comparing two treatments for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two approaches to treating nerve pain caused by diabetes. You may be eligible if your diabetic neuropathy is moderate to severe and you can reliably use a phone for study steps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 85 years old
- You have diabetes-related nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy) with symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning, sharp pain, or heightened sensitivity
- A doctor has confirmed your diagnosis
- You have a smartphone: Android 5.0+ or iPhone iOS 14+
- You can use a phone steadily (able to type/operate it with your fingers)

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation therapy can help relieve nerve symptoms and improve quality of life in people with diabetes who also have poor leg circulation. The therapy is non-invasive and applied to the affected area, aiming to reduce pain and numbness.
This study compares different ways to treat painful diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the treatment options to see which works best for pain relief.
This study tests whether two different exercise routines can help boost brain chemicals linked to nerve health in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage. You would be assigned to one of two exercise groups for a set period, and researchers will check if your nerve-related symptoms improve.
This study tests whether a special type of physical therapy (called intraneural facilitation therapy and nerve flossing) can help reduce nerve pain and improve feeling in your feet. The goal is to find a drug-free way to ease symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for nerve pain in the legs caused by diabetes. One group gets standard nerve gliding exercises, and the other also learns about how pain works. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function.
This study tests how well two treatments, INF and OEP, work together to help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition that causes nerve pain in the feet and legs. It may offer a way to reduce pain and improve walking ability.
