Overview
Join a Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Clinical Study
Living with painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) can mean dealing with constant burning, tingling, or numbness that affects your sleep and daily life. Managing these symptoms is often difficult, and new options are needed.
If you are managing Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, you know that nerve pain in your feet or legs can be one of the most challenging symptoms. Research is ongoing to evaluate an investigational medication for this pain.
We are looking for volunteers to participate in a Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy clinical study exploring a potential option for diabetic nerve pain.

What is DPN?
Diabetic neuropathy is a kind of damage to the nerves that occurs in about 50% of people with diabetes. Diabetic neuropathy can affect a wide variety of nerves. When it affects the nerves of the feet, legs, arms, and hands, it is called diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). DPN is the most typical form of
diabetic neuropathy.
Common symptoms may include but are not limited to:
- Feelings of numbness
- Inability to feel pain
- Weakness of the muscles
- A tingling or burning feeling
- High sensitivity to touch in the affected areas
- Ulcers, infections, joint and bone damage
Diagnosis of DPN may occur at any age and be different based on what symptoms are present. Testing may include checking muscle strength and reflexes or biopsies of the nerves and muscles.
Join our Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy clinical study and help contribute to research.
About the Study
The purpose of the Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy clinical study is to understand if an investigational drug is safe and effective for adults with pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
These non-opioid investigational drugs are being developed for the management of pain. They are designed to target a sodium channel in the body which plays an important role in pain signaling. Researchers are evaluating if blocking this channel will treat pain from DPN.
