Piracetam for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether piracetam can help relieve nerve pain caused by diabetes (peripheral neuropathy). It's for people with type 2 diabetes who use insulin and have high blood sugar levels.

This trial tests whether melatonin can help relieve pain and discomfort from diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes). If you have type 2 diabetes with nerve pain and are on stable diabetes medications, you may be eligible.
This trial tests if Levagen+ (a supplement) can reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It is for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who have significant nerve pain in their feet or legs.
This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
This trial tests if a supplement called CRONILIEF can reduce nerve pain in people with type 2 diabetes. It may offer a new option for those who have moderate pain and take diabetes pills (not insulin).
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 study compares a lower dose of duloxetine (a pain medication) combined with alpha-lipoic acid (an antioxidant) to a standard dose of duloxetine alone, to see if the combination improves nerve pain from diabetes while possibly reducing side effects.
