What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a two-week course of functional magnetic stimulation applied to the sole of the foot can improve feeling, foot strength, balance, and walking in adults with type 2 diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either active magnetic stimulation or a sham treatment that mimics the setup but blocks most of the magnetic field. The study measures changes in walking speed, foot grip force, and postural sway to see if the stimulation helps sensory and motor function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
functional magnetic stimulation, a device that delivers pulsed magnetic fields to the sole of the foot
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free, non-invasive way to ease numbness and balance problems caused by diabetic nerve damage.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study of 30 people over two weeks, so any benefits may be modest or fade. Magnetic stimulation is generally well tolerated, but results in a short trial may not hold up in larger or longer studies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy documented in their medical records * Ability to walk independently with or without an assistive device * Ability to understand and follow study procedures Exclusion Criteria: * Conditions that could independently affect balance or foot function * Contraindications to magnetic stimulation * Active foot ulceration * Recent lower-limb injury or surgery * Severe neurological or musculoskeletal disease unrelated to diabetic peripheral neuropathy * Cognitive impairment preventing valid participation
