This study compares a new rapid DNA tool (MinION) with standard lab tests to identify bacteria and fungi in bone samples from people with diabetic foot infections. The goal is to see if the new method can find more germs and provide results faster, helping doctors choose the righ…

This study tests two different exercise programs to improve balance and walking in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the feet). 80 adults aged 40-75 with diabetes and nerve damage will be randomly assigned to either sensory re-education or proprioceptive…

This study tests whether combining a hands-on nerve treatment (intraneural facilitation) with a balance exercise program can reduce pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. About 65 adults aged 50-75 with type 2 diabetes and …

This study tests whether small electrical pulses to leg nerves can restore sensation in a missing limb for 15 people with diabetes-related amputations or nerve damage. Participants will have electrodes implanted to send signals to the brain, mimicking natural foot feelings. The g…

This study tests if a cream made with a special form of capsaicin (the stuff that makes chili peppers hot) can reduce foot pain in people with diabetic nerve damage. About 80 adults with diabetic foot pain will apply the cream or a placebo twice a day for 14 days and rate their p…

This study is testing whether showing people with diabetic nerve damage real-time visual and audio feedback while they walk can improve their gait. Researchers will measure foot pressure and forward push during treadmill walking. The goal is to understand how feedback might help …

This study is translating and testing an Arabic version of a survey that measures quality of life in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage or foot ulcers. Researchers will enroll 290 Arabic-speaking adults to make sure the translated survey is accurate, reliable, and …
