New study aims to catch diabetic nerve damage earlier with advanced testing
NCT ID NCT07306884
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well nerve tests and ultrasound can detect diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes that causes pain and numbness in the feet. Researchers will compare results from 75 adults with diabetes and healthy volunteers to see which tests work best for early diagnosis. The goal is to help doctors identify nerve damage sooner and improve treatment.
