Irisin levels in diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a protein in your blood called irisin is linked to nerve damage caused by diabetes. It may help doctors find better ways to test for and manage diabetic nerve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 30 and 75 years old
- You have had type 2 diabetes for at least 1 year
- You are willing to give blood samples and answer questions
- You do not have nerve damage from other causes (like heavy drinking, chemotherapy, or vitamin B12 deficiency)
- You do not have serious kidney disease, active infections, or muscle or nerve diseases
- You are not taking part if you have had a stroke or have Parkinson's disease, or if you have severe mobility problems

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 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 a natural protein called irisin in your body affects erectile function in men with type 2 diabetes and obesity. By comparing blood and tissue levels, the researchers hope to find new ways to improve erectile function in men who haven't responded to current treatments.
This trial is testing whether a hormone called irisin in the blood can help detect diabetic kidney disease early and show how it progresses. If you have type 2 diabetes, participating may help improve how kidney problems are found and monitored.
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 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.
