Ultrasound scan of leg nerve in diabetic nerve damage
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the sciatic nerve and a nearby artery in people with diabetes and nerve damage. The goal is to see if these images can help detect or understand diabetic nerve damage, which could lead to better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have type 2 diabetes.
- You must be between 20 and 75 years old.
- Your nerve problems must be caused by diabetes, not by other health conditions like liver or kidney disease.
- You must not have a history of heavy alcohol use or exposure to toxic substances that could damage nerves.
- You must not be taking certain medicines that can affect nerves, such as isoniazid or furazolidone.
- You must be willing to have ultrasound exams, nerve tests, and blood draws.

This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to see if it can detect nerve damage in people with diabetes. It may help doctors find diabetic peripheral neuropathy earlier and more accurately.
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 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.
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 trial tests a numbing injection (nerve block) in the leg to see if it helps reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to improve pain relief with fewer side effects than stronger medications.
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.
