Nerve block for diabetic leg pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a numbing injection (nerve block) in the leg to see if it helps reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to improve pain relief with fewer side effects than stronger medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes (diagnosed by standard criteria).
- Your nerve pain is mainly from diabetes, not another cause.
- You do not have foot ulcers, gangrene, or a recent leg or foot surgery or injury.
- You are not allergic to local anesthetics and do not have bleeding problems or infections near the injection site.
- You are not currently taking opioid pain medication.

This study uses ultrasound to look at the sciatic nerve and a nearby artery in people with diabetes and nerve damage. The goal is to see if these images can help detect or understand diabetic nerve damage, which could lead to better care.
This trial studies whether a numbing “nerve block” can reduce long-lasting nerve pain caused by diabetic neuropathy. You may keep your usual pain medicines, and the study will mainly check whether you fit the safety and diagnosis criteria.
This study looks at how well a numbing injection around the ankle controls pain after surgery, and whether it works differently for people with diabetes compared to those without. If you're having foot or ankle surgery and are willing to provide your medical data, this could help improve pain management for patients like you.
This study compares two types of anesthesia for below-knee amputation surgery in people with type 2 diabetes. One type is a spinal injection, and the other is a nerve block in the leg. The goal is to see which provides better pain control and recovery.
This study tests an investigational medicine (HL-1186) to see if it can reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. If you have had burning or shooting pain in your feet or legs for at least 6 months, this trial might help find a new way to ease that 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.
