Nerve Hydrodissection for Diabetic Nerve Entrapment Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure that uses fluid injection to free trapped nerves in the lower legs of people with diabetes. The goal is to relieve pain, numbness, and weakness when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes with nerve damage (DPN) confirmed by clinical exam, nerve testing, or ultrasound
- You have trapped nerve symptoms in your lower leg(s)—such as numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness—that fit a specific nerve distribution pattern
- You've tried medications like mecobalamin or alpha-lipoic acid without adequate relief
- You're between 18 and 85 years old
- You don't have severe heart, liver, or kidney disease, active infection, or skin breakdown at the treatment site
- You're not pregnant, not in another clinical trial in the past 3 months, and able to follow the study protocol

This trial tests a shortwave treatment to relieve pain and other nerve symptoms in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). It is for adults who have not found enough relief from standard nerve medications.
This study tests whether a special type of physical therapy (called intraneural facilitation therapy and nerve flossing) can help reduce nerve pain and improve feeling in your feet. The goal is to find a drug-free way to ease symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.
This study tests how well two treatments, INF and OEP, work together to help people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a condition that causes nerve pain in the feet and legs. It may offer a way to reduce pain and improve walking ability.
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 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.
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.
