Ultrasound of leg nerves in type 2 diabetes with nerve damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes.
- A nerve test (EMG) has confirmed nerve damage in your legs (called diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy).
- You do not have any other major health problems (like advanced heart disease, active infection, or recent surgery) that might affect the results.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30.
- You can read and sign a consent form.

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 study looks at how well blood sugar is controlled in people with diabetes-related nerve damage, and measures how nerve signals travel through the leg. The goal is to understand whether better blood sugar control helps improve nerve function.
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 study uses nerve tests and ultrasound to look at how diabetes affects nerves and the body's automatic functions. It may help doctors better understand and detect nerve damage from diabetes.
This study looks at whether amylin is involved in nerve damage causing pain or numbness in the feet or hands for people with type 2 diabetes. If you qualify, you may be evaluated with nerve testing to see how your nerve function compares to the study’s targets.
This study looks at how the nervous system becomes extra sensitive in people with diabetic nerve pain. It may help doctors understand why some people with diabetes feel pain and others don't, which could lead to better treatments.
