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.
This trial tests if a special vitamin B complex (with ATP) given by injection can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It's for people with type 1 or 2 diabetes who have had nerve pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements can help reduce nerve pain and damage caused by type 2 diabetes. You may qualify if you have low vitamin D levels and have experienced nerve-related symptoms for at least 3 months.
This study compares two types of vitamin B supplements to see which one better relieves nerve pain and numbness in people with diabetes. It may help if you have diabetic neuropathy and are looking for a safe, non-drug option.
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.
