AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial uses ultrasound scans to study diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which is nerve damage in the limbs caused by diabetes. It compares people with this nerve damage, people with diabetes but no nerve damage, and healthy people.
- Age
- 18 to 75 years
- Sex
- All sexes
Main reasons for not taking part
- The record lists "individuals without peripheral neuropathy" as a reason a person cannot join. Its criteria are unclear and do not fit the study groups.

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The main objective of this observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The questions it aims to address are: (1) To compare the differences in various parameters between the DPN group, non-DPN group, and healthy control group; (2) To explore the diagnostic efficacy of each parameter for DPN and establish a combined model.
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
