New mobile app could help detect nerve pain in diabetes patients
NCT ID NCT07195045
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is translating and testing a questionnaire called PainPREDICT for Thai-speaking people with diabetes. The goal is to create a mobile app that can screen for painful diabetic neuropathy, a common complication that causes nerve pain. Researchers will check if the Thai version is accurate and easy to use, involving 277 adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Thai PainPREDICT Questionnaire and Mobile Application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a reliable, culturally adapted screening tool and mobile app to help detect painful diabetic neuropathy early in Thai patients, potentially preventing complications like foot ulcers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage validation study, not a treatment trial. The tool may not prove accurate enough in real-world settings, and the app's usability may be limited by patient tech literacy or access.
