NCT ID NCT06483620
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
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 ensure the translated survey is accurate, reliable, and culturally appropriate. The goal is to give doctors and researchers a better tool to understand and improve care for diabetic patients in Arabic-speaking countries.

Who is studied
The study design will be a cross-cultural validation of Neuro Qol the Arabic version for patients with DFUs. Participants will be identified, approached, and recruited from outpatient clinic at Faculty of Physical Therapy, Nahda University and Elsalam university. Ten patients per item were chosen to estimate the sample size for testing the psychometric properties of the Neuro Qol Arabic version (Sousa \& Rojjanasrirat, 2011). So 290 patients (145 male patients and 145 female patients), were chosen according to specific criterea.
