Testing Nerves and Blood Flow in Diabetic Nerve Damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how diabetes affects nerves, including those that control automatic functions like sweating and heart rate. Researchers will use ultrasound and electrical tests to check for nerve damage in people with diabetes, and compare results to healthy volunteers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a simple screening tool to find nerve damage early in people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It may help you understand your risk and take steps to protect your nerves.
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 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 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 trial looks for and studies early nerve problems in the feet or legs that can happen with diabetes, before nerve damage is clearly diagnosed. It may help doctors better predict who is at risk and understand early changes.
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.
