Melatonin for diabetic nerve pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether melatonin can help relieve pain and discomfort from diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by diabetes). If you have type 2 diabetes with nerve pain and are on stable diabetes medications, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes for at least 1 year.
- You have been diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in your hands or feet).
- Your diabetes medications have been the same for at least the last month and will stay stable during the study.
- You do not have autoimmune diseases (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis), thyroid disease, peripheral artery disease, or cancer.
- You are not taking any supplements or anti-inflammatory medicines (including antioxidants) now or in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether the medicine piracetam can help with nerve pain or symptoms caused by diabetes (diabetic neuropathy). If it works, it may offer a new way to ease discomfort and improve your daily life.
This trial tests a shortwave treatment to relieve pain and other nerve symptoms in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). It is for adults who have not found enough relief from standard nerve medications.
This trial tests whether the drug trimetazidine can improve nerve damage symptoms in people with type 2 diabetes and diabetic neuropathy. It also looks at how the drug affects a substance in the blood called endothelin-1, which may be involved in nerve damage.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation therapy can help relieve nerve symptoms and improve quality of life in people with diabetes who also have poor leg circulation. The therapy is non-invasive and applied to the affected area, aiming to reduce pain and numbness.
This study tests whether taking a vitamin D supplement can help with the nerve pain and numbness caused by diabetes. If you have low vitamin D and diabetic nerve pain, it might help ease your symptoms.
This Phase 2 study tests whether melatonin can improve sleep and possibly outcomes related to diabetic retinopathy (damage to the retina from diabetes). It also checks whether it affects related symptoms while keeping people safe.
