Could a simple exam catch diabetic nerve damage early?
NCT ID NCT07557641
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two simple bedside tools—the Neuropathy Disability Score and Neuropathy Symptom Score—to screen for diabetic nerve damage. Researchers compared them to standard nerve tests in 228 adults with diabetes. The goal was to see if these easy-to-use tools could help detect nerve damage early and prevent serious complications like foot ulcers.
