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.symptoms illustration for a diabetic peripheral neuropathy clinical study

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is a Clinical Trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that evaluates new medications, devices, or treatment approaches to determine if they are safe and effective. Clinical trials help doctors and researchers develop better treatments for current and future patients. All studies follow strict safety guidelines and are carefully monitored.
Each clinical study has requirements for participants based on specific factors such as age, medical history and current health. The eligibility criteria in each study protocol are used to identify the volunteers best qualified to participate.
No. Study-related medications, tests, and medical visits are provided at no cost to you. Participation in a clinical trial should not require you to pay for study-related care.
Many studies provide compensation for time and travel. Compensation varies by study and will be explained before you decide to participate.
Health insurance is not required for most clinical trials. Study-related care is typically provided at no cost to you.
Participation is completely voluntary. You may choose to leave the study at any time, for any reason. Your decision will not affect your regular medical care or benefits.
Each study has specific eligibility criteria based on age, medical history, and other factors. The best way to find out if you qualify is to complete the eligibility form or speak with a research team member.
