Comparing treatments for painful diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different treatment options for people with diabetes who have nerve pain, often called neuropathy. The goal is to find the most effective way to reduce pain and improve daily life.

This study tests whether a special diet can help reduce pain caused by nerve damage from Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes. You may qualify if you have painful diabetic neuropathy and are looking for a non-medication approach.
This study compares two approaches to treating nerve pain caused by diabetes. You may be eligible if your diabetic neuropathy is moderate to severe and you can reliably use a phone for study steps.
This trial looks at patterns in the day-to-day experience of people living with diabetic nerve pain (diabetic neuropathy) during a clinical trial. It may help researchers understand what works best for patients and how trial support should be designed.
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 looks at how the central nervous system reacts in people with type 2 diabetes who have or don't have pain from nerve damage. It aims to better understand nerve sensitivity to help improve treatment.
This trial tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It is for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who have had moderate-to-severe nerve pain for at least 3 months.
