Driving with diabetic neuropathy study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) affects driving safety. You may join if you have type 2 diabetes with or without neuropathy and are an experienced driver in the UK.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You drive a car at least once a week on average
- You have type 2 diabetes either with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) or without
- You do not have a foot ulcer, a major amputation on your right foot, or dementia

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests whether combining foot and ankle exercises with mindful walking can reduce pain and improve mobility in people with diabetic nerve damage in their feet.
This study tests whether special sensory training exercises can improve your balance, walking, and daily physical function if you have type 2 diabetes with nerve damage in your feet. You will do supervised exercises and the researchers will measure how you move and balance before and after.
This trial looks for and studies early nerve problems in the feet or legs that can happen with diabetes, before nerve damage is clearly diagnosed. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and understand early changes.
This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
This study tests whether training on a driving simulator can help people with Parkinson's disease drive more safely. If you have a valid license and are in the early to moderate stages, you may be able to join.
