NCT07558863
This study aims to investigate whether a class of diabetes medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA), specifically semaglutide or polyethylene glycol loxenatide, can improve heart-related nerve damage in people with type 2 diabetes. This heart-related nerve damage is known as diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN), which can cause problems such as fast resting heart rate, low blood pressure upon standing, and in severe cases, heart attack or sudden death. In this study, 60 adults with type 2 diabetes (ages 18-80) will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will receive standard diabetes care only, while the other group will receive standard care plus a once-weekly injection of either semaglutide or polyethylene glycol loxenatide for 6 months. Participants will undergo tests before and after the treatment period, including blood tests and non-invasive heart function tests (24-hour heart rate variability monitoring and cardiac autonomic reflex tests). The main goal is to see whether GLP-1RA treatment improves heart rate variability, a key sign of heart nerve function. The study also looks at changes in body weight, blood sugar control, and insulin resistance. This research may help determine whether GLP-1RA medications can protect against or improve diabetic heart nerve damage, beyond their known benefits for blood sugar control.

Title: Intrathecal Administration of scAAV9/JeT-GAN for the Treatment of Giant Axonal Neuropathy Background: \- The Gigaxonin gene lets the body make a protein chemical called Gigaxonin. Nerves need Gigaxonin to work properly. Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN) causes a shortage of functional Gigaxonin. Nerves stop working normally in people with GAN. This causes problems with walking and sometimes with eating, breathing, and many other activities. GAN has no cure. Over time, GAN can shorten a person s life. Researchers want to see if a gene transfer treatment may help people with GAN. Objectives: \- To see if a gene transfer is safe and shows potential to help people with GAN. Eligibility: \- People age 3 and older with GAN. Design: * For 1 month following gene transfer participants must live full-time within 100 miles of the NIH. * Participants will be screened by phone and in person. They will take many tests. Some are listed below. Their medical records will be reviewed. Their caregivers may be contacted. * Participants will have a total of about 27 visits, weekly, monthly, and then yearly over 15 years. They will include many of the tests below. * Physical and nervous system exams. * Blood, urine, and stool samples. * Nerve, lung, heart, and eye tests. * Questionnaires. * MRI scans, nerve biopsies, and spinal taps. Participants will be sedated for some tests. * Speech, memory, muscle, and mobility tests. * Skin biopsy (small sample removed). * Participants will take many medicines. Some require intravenous lines. * Participants will get the gene transfer through an injection by spinal tap into their cerebrospinal fluid, which flows around the brain and spinal cord. The genes are packed in a modified virus that carries the genes to cells in their body. Participants safety is not guaranteed.
NCT06376240
Patients with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of developing vascular complications. Microvascular dysfunction might be caused by the increased production of methylglyoxal under hyperglycaemic conditions. Methylglyoxal is a by-product of glycolysis and forms advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on proteins and DNA, thereby disrupting their function. Preventing methylglyoxal accumulation and AGEs formation may offer a therapeutic option for treating microvascular complications in diabetics. Pyridoxamine is a vitamin B6 vitamer that scavenges methylglyoxal and thereby inhibits the formation of AGEs. In this study, the researchers investigate whether pyridoxamine supplementation in type 2 diabetes improves microvascular function in the eye, kidney and skin, and reduces markers of endothelial dysfunction and glycation.
NCT07264426
The aims of this study are to assess the real-world effectiveness of efgartigimod in treating chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), describe the "treatment journey" of participants with CIDP, and assess the utilization of health care services among adult participants with CIDP who initiate treatment with efgartigimod. As this is a noninterventional study, treatment choices and decisions will be left to the discretion of participants and their physicians, according to the standard of care. Each participant will be prospectively followed for up to 2 years from the date of initial administration of efgartigimod.
NCT07525882
This observational cross-sectional study aims to investigate the effects of glycemic control and clinical parameters on tibial nerve conduction latency in individuals with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Adults aged 45 to 76 years with diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be evaluated at a neurology and clinical neurophysiology clinic. Data collection will include demographic and clinical characteristics, diabetes type and duration, fasting blood glucose, and HbA1c values obtained from routine clinical records. Participants will also be assessed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), including both the questionnaire and physical examination components. Nerve conduction studies will be performed using standard electromyography procedures, and tibial nerve conduction latency will be recorded. The study will examine the relationship between tibial nerve conduction latency and glycemic control parameters, neuropathy screening scores, and diabetes duration. The findings may help improve early identification and clinical evaluation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
NCT06614322
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether quantitative sensory testing (QST) can be used to classify participants into pain sub-groups and predict who will respond best to certain pain treatments in participants with painful peripheral neuropathy. The analgesic effect is evaluated by measuring pain intensity and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). This study is a 3-period cross-over trial. This means researchers will compare 3 different drugs (pregabalin, duloxetine, and placebo) over a period of 19 weeks. Participants will: * Undergo a quantitative sensory testing (QST) exam. * Provide a blood sample. * Complete questionnaires on the computer. * Take the study drug as instructed.
