Brain training for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a brain training method called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may offer a new, non-drug way to manage pain.

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 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 non-invasive spinal cord treatment plus balance exercises can reduce nerve pain and improve balance in people with diabetes-related nerve damage. It may help if you have burning or shooting foot pain from diabetes.
This study tests whether umbilical cord stem cells can help people with diabetic nerve damage in their legs who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments. It aims to improve symptoms like numbness, pain, and tingling.
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.
This study tests whether low-frequency electroacupuncture (a gentle needle treatment with mild electrical pulses) can help relieve pain and improve nerve function in people with diabetic nerve damage. It may help reduce tingling, burning, or numbness in the feet and legs.
