Stem cell therapy for diabetic nerve pain
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes
- Have symptoms of nerve damage in your legs (such as numbness, pain, or tingling) that haven't improved enough after at least 3 months of standard treatment
- Agree to get stem cell injections and follow the study schedule

This study tests whether a gentle electrical acupuncture treatment can reduce pain and numbness caused by diabetes-related nerve damage. Participants will receive treatment twice a week for 8 weeks to see if it improves symptoms and nerve function.
This study analyzes blood samples from people with diabetes to understand what causes nerve pain and damage in the legs and feet. Researchers will compare blood from three groups: people with diabetic nerve pain, people with diabetes but no nerve problems, and healthy volunteers without diabetes.
This study uses ultrasound to examine nerves in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their legs or feet. Researchers will compare ultrasound findings with blood tests to understand why some people develop this complication and how to better detect it early.
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure that uses fluid injection to free trapped nerves in the lower legs of people with diabetes. The goal is to relieve pain, numbness, and weakness when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
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 a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
