Pain treatment comparison for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to treat painful diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the treatment options to see which works best for pain relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have diabetes
- You must have painful nerve damage in your feet or hands caused by diabetes (confirmed by a doctor)

This study compares a numbing gel you put on your skin (lidocaine gel) with a daily oral medication (duloxetine) to see which works better for reducing pain from diabetic nerve damage. It aims to find a safer or more effective way to ease your pain.
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 study tests whether a brain training method called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may offer a new, non-drug way to manage pain.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for nerve pain in the legs caused by diabetes. One group gets standard nerve gliding exercises, and the other also learns about how pain works. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function.
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.
