A Double Blind, Randomized Crossover Study of Efficacy and Safety of Topical Menthol, With and Without Mannitol, in the Treatment of Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Mannitol and Menthol for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Completed, enrolled 72 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
Treatments for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) are not very effective and have multiple side effects. To find out if a menthol cream alone or with added mannitol treats PDPN effectively, 90 participants with PDPN, after one month of observation, will receive randomly assigned menthol cream or the same cream with mannitol added for 3 months with a crossover for 3 additional months. At time 0, 1,4 and 7 months their BPI pain severity and interference scores, DN4 scores, cream % effectiveness and side effects will be compared.
