NCT ID NCT07455994
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how type 1 diabetes affects the nerves that control the heart in children. Researchers will measure heart rate variability in 100 children with diabetes and compare them to healthy kids of the same age and sex. The goal is to find early signs of cardiac dysautonomia, a serious complication, and see if it's linked to how long a child has had diabetes.
