Nerve sensitivity in painful and painless diabetic neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the central nervous system reacts in people with type 2 diabetes who have or don't have pain from nerve damage. It aims to better understand nerve sensitivity to help improve treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have had type 2 diabetes for at least 1 year
- You are willing to give written consent to participate
- Your nerve pain is not caused by something other than diabetes (like alcohol, chemotherapy, or vitamin deficiency)
- You do not have active foot ulcers, infections, or severe circulation problems
- You do not have a central nervous system condition (like a stroke, MS, or spinal cord injury)

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 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.
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.
This study looks at whether amylin is involved in nerve damage causing pain or numbness in the feet or hands for people with type 2 diabetes. If you qualify, you may be evaluated with nerve testing to see how your nerve function compares to the study’s targets.
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.
