Capsaicin cream for diabetic nerve foot pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new cream (Capsadyn®) made from chili pepper extract to see if it can reduce nerve pain in the feet caused by diabetes. If it works, it could offer a simple treatment you apply at home.
