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.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 80 years old
- 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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether low-frequency electroacupuncture (a gentle needle treatment with mild electrical pulses) can help relieve pain and improve nerve function in people with diabetic nerve damage. It may help reduce tingling, burning, or numbness in the feet and legs.
This study looks at blood samples from people with diabetes to find markers that might explain why some develop nerve pain in their feet and legs. If you have diabetes and nerve-related pain, this research could help improve understanding of the condition.
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 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 a spinal cord stimulator (a device that uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals) can help people with diabetic nerve pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. If you have long-term nerve pain from diabetes and other pain meds haven't worked, this trial might be an option for you.
