Can an ultrasound predict falls in diabetic patients?
NCT ID NCT06778005
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study uses ultrasound to measure the size and appearance of leg nerves in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage (diabetic polyneuropathy). Researchers will then test how these nerve measurements relate to balance, walking, and daily life. The goal is to better understand the link between nerve structure and physical function, which could help improve care for those at risk of falls.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors better understand how nerve damage affects balance and walking in people with diabetes, potentially guiding future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It is small (86 people) and only looks at links, not causes. Results may not apply to everyone with diabetic neuropathy.
