Ultrasound imaging of nerves in diabetic nerve damage
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes diagnosed by standard medical criteria
- You are between 20 and 75 years old
- You are willing to have ultrasound scans, nerve tests, and blood drawn
- Your nerve damage is caused by diabetes, not other diseases like kidney or liver problems
- You have not had chronic heavy alcohol use or long-term exposure to toxic chemicals
- You are not currently taking medications known to damage nerves (such as isoniazid or furazolidone)

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 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 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 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 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 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.
