About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Exercise and Peripheral Nerve Function in People With Diabetes - Exercise and Neuropathy Research Group v.2 (ENRGy2) Addendum

This is an amendment to study posting NCT00970060. Based on preliminary results from that study is was determined there needs to be a follow-up exercise intervention study. This study has two additional aims than the original study. The objectives are to determine is a prolonged exercise routine, 16-weeks, paired with refined measures of effectiveness positively impact people with diabetic neuropathy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Aerobic ExerciseOther

    Aerobic exercises in the program include cycle ergometers, treadmills, recumbent steppers and elliptical trainers.

16-Week Exercise ProgramExperimentalSubjects to participate in 16-week3 supervised aerobic exercise 3 times per week. Exercise sessions to last between 30 and 60 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change nerve function

    Change in nerve function will be quantified using the Total Neuropathy Score (TNS). The TNS is a composite measure of peripheral nerve function that includes grading of signs/symptoms, nerve conduction studies, and quantitative sensory testing. We will not include proprioceptive testing in this project.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

  2. Change in aerobic fitness

    Aerobic fitness will be assessed with a graded maximal exercise test as in the previous protocol with a metabolic cart and integrated ECG.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in cutaneous innervation

    Change will be measured after exercise intervention to see what effects exercise has on dermal and epidermal innervation. Change measured via skin biopsy.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

  2. Change in maximal workload

    Measured as part of the aerobic fitness assessment. Use of standardized protocol with total body recumbent stepped to be used to obtain the maximal workload.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

  3. Change in pain experienced

    Pain will be measured using the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This scale has been specifically validated in this population and consists of 3 pain severity items and a 7-item pain interference scale.

    Measured: Baseline to Week 16

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aerobic Exercise in people with Diabetic Neuropathy, run by University of Kansas at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change nerve function (time frame: Baseline to Week 16). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01764373, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Sep 2013.
