About this study
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether SUDOSCAN is a valid, accurate clinical device for the the determination of sweat gland function in the pediatric population.
Primary Objective: To measure sweat gland function in a pediatric population
Secondary Objective: To determine thresholds on the SUDOSCAN scale for abnormal sweat gland function in the pediatric population
- Conditions
- Childhood Obesity, Prediabetes, Diabetes
- Medical subject headings
- Pediatric Obesity, Prediabetic State, Diabetes Mellitus
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Identification of participants with abnormal SUDOSCAN electrochemical skin conductance scores
- Sweat gland function will be assessed within each age group
- Correlation with parameters associated with pre-diabetes and diabetes
Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Childhood Obesity and Prediabetes, run by Impeto Medical 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 2 inclusion and 11 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 2014. 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Identification of participants with abnormal SUDOSCAN electrochemical skin conductance scores (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT02216201, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 11 Nov 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
