About this study

Official title: Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Its Correlations With Electrophysiological Studies and Gait Performance in Diabetic Polyneuropathy Patients

This study will be conducted to investigate the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) with gait performance in patients with DPN. 65 patients with type II DM with moderate polyneuropathy will participate in this study. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) test will be done for each patient by using the Colorimeter device. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) will be performed for each patient by using the electromyography device to confirm the diagnosis of DPN. The neurophysiological functions of peripheral nerves including (The Common peroneal, Tibial, Sural, and Ulnar motor \& sensory branches) will be measured. Spatiotemporal gait parameters (stride length, cadence\& velocity) for all the patients will be assessed by two-dimension video-based motion analysis (2D).

Read the detailed description

The current study is to investigate the correlation between glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) with nerve conduction studies (NCS) including amplitudes, conduction velocities \&latency with spatiotemporal gait parameters including stride length, cadence\& velocity in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN). The patients will be recruited from the Out- patient clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University. All the patients suffering from moderate polyneuropathy according to Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Scoring System (TCSS), and Neuropathy Impairment Score in the lower limbs (NIS-LL). Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) test will be done for each patient by using the Colorimeter device. Blood will be collected in a EDTA (3 cm) tube that's attached to the needle. A nerve conduction study will be performed for each patient. Five nerves will be examined in this study including (The common peroneal, tibial, sural and ulnar motor \& sensory branches). The Nerve conduction studies involve analysis of specific parameters including amplitude (mv), latency (msec.) and conduction velocity(m/s). The evaluation procedure will be explained to each patient before starting examination. Gait parameters including (stride length, cadence \& velocity) will be assessed using 2D video-based motion analysis. The gait will be captured by a digital video camera; (Canon 10 mega pixel - 4x optical zoom, lens 4x15/6.2-24.8mm1:2.7-5.6). The resultant captured film will then be processed using a special software computer program (Adobe premier ver. 6.0).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Moderate diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN)65 patients of both sexes (males \& females) with type II DM with moderate polyneuropathy will be included. Patients will be enrolled and assessed for their eligibility to participate in this study. Their body mass index (BMI) will range from 20:30 kg/m2, age will range from 40-60 years, postprandial blood sugar more than 200 mg/dl, duration of diabetic illness five years ago or more and serum Hb1AC will be between 7% and 14%. All the patients suffering from moderate polyneuropathy according to Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Scoring System (TCSS) (score nine to 11 points), and Neuropathy Impairment Score in the lower limbs (NIS-LL) (The muscle power of the lower limbs will be more than grade 2 and less than grade 4)

What is being measured

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

  1. The neurophysiological parameters

    Five nerves will be examined in this study including (The common peroneal, tibial, sural and ulnar motor \& sensory branches). Nerve conduction studies (NCS) will be performed by using the electromyography device.

    Measured: At baseline for all patients

  2. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) level

    Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) test will be done for each patient by using the Colorimeter device. The Blood will be collected in a EDTA (3 cm) tube

    Measured: At baseline for all patients

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Spatiotemporal gait parameters

    Spatiotemporal gait parameters for all the patients will be assessed by two-dimension video-based motion analysis (2D).

    Measured: At baseline for all patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetic Polyneuropathy, run by Shereen Saad Eldin Mohamed Ali at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Hamada Ahmed Hamada, Assistant professor (01117893697 ext. 002, hamada.ahmed@pt.cu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The neurophysiological parameters (time frame: At baseline for all patients). 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?
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 13 Jul 2022.
