Environmental triggers for nerve damage in French Guiana
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how environmental factors may be linked to peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) in people with diabetes or of unknown cause. It aims to find possible causes and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be able to complete a questionnaire.
- You must not have any objections to participating in the study.
- You must either have diabetic peripheral neuropathy or chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes or unknown cause), or be part of the control group without nerve damage.

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 looks at the clinical, electrical, and genetic features of polyneuropathies (nerve damage) that are either inherited or inflammatory. It aims to better understand these conditions and possibly improve care.
This study helps doctors better understand and measure sensory nerve damage (nerves that feel pain, temperature, and touch). You may qualify if you have a specific type of nerve damage caused by cancer, autoimmune disease, platinum chemotherapy, or a rare genetic condition.
This study looks at how the nervous system becomes extra sensitive in people with diabetic nerve pain. It may help doctors understand why some people with diabetes feel pain and others don't, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at genetic differences in people being checked for a common type of nerve problem called distal symmetric polyneuropathy (nerve damage that usually affects the hands and feet). By understanding genetics, researchers hope to learn more about why neuropathic (nerve) pain happens and how it may differ between people.
This study looks at how chemotherapy-related nerve damage affects daily activities like walking and standing. It includes people who currently have or have had nerve-damaging chemotherapy and are experiencing nerve pain or weakness.
