Perception Threshold Tracking(PTT): A Novel Method for Early Detection and Grading of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Perception Threshold Tracking (PTT), Axon-flair mediated respons, and 6 other interventions for Neuropathy, Diabetic and Neuropathy, Painful. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
MEDON aims to examine new methods for early detection and grading of diabetic peripheral neuropathy focusing on both small- and large nerve fibers. Furthermore, MEDON aims to describe differences between people with classic diabetic peripheral neuropathy and those with painful diabetic neuropathy.

Timeline
Interventions
low-current electrical stimulation of both large- and small nerve fibers.
Laser-doppler examination of small blood vessels in the peripheral skin.
4 measurements of heart rate.
Seven tests measuring 13 parameters including heat- and cold-detection and pain thresholds, mechanical pain treshold, mechanical detection threshold, pressure pain treshold and vibration threshold.
Ankle/brachial index, toe/brachial index, TcpO2.
MRI-scans of peripheral nerves and the central nervous system. Blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) MRI.
Questionnaires for detecting painful neuropathy
Confocal microscopy of the cornea measuring NBD, NFD, NFL
