Prevalence of Pathological Nerve Conduction Velocity in Children and Adolescents Suffering From Diabetes Mellitus Type I
In Brief
An observational study for Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators intend to study children and adolescents from 8 to 18 years suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1 for more than one year. The patients will undergo a detailed clinical examination for anthropometric data, blood pressure, blood and urine. Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity will be examined by electrical stimulation using surface patch electrodes. The nerves to be examined are the nervus tibialis anterior, nervus medianus and nervus peroneus. Primary outcome: How many children and adolescents suffering from diabetes mellitus type 1 (duration of disease \> 1 year, age 8 to 18a, insulin requirement \> 0.5 IU/kg/d) show pathological nerve conduction velocity? Secondary outcome: Is there a significant difference in nerve conduction velocity between the group of diabetic patients and the control group of healthy young people? Does the quality of disease control have an influence on nerve conduction velocity? Is there a correlation between nerve conduction velocity in our study patients and the Young Score? Is there a correlation between pathological nerve conduction velocity and other long-term vascular complications (nephropathy, retinopathy)?
