About this study

Official title: Effect of Systemic Administration of ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) as an Adjunct to Scaling and Rootplaning on Serum Resistin Levels in Patients With Chronic Periodontitis and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

To evaluate the effectiveness of non surgical periodontal therapy in addition to antioxidant(ALA) on resistin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and periodontal disease

Read the detailed description

A total of 40 patients with diabetes and chronic periodontitis attending the department of periodontics will be recruited in the study. 40 subjects will be randomly divided into two groups(control group and test group with 20 subjects in each group). Clinical parameters such as gingival index, periodontal index, random blood sugar levels(RBS) and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (Hb1aC) will be recorded at baseline and after 3 months and 2ml of blood sample will be collected by venepuncture ( baseline and after 3 months) and stored in Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid containing vials to identify the levels of resistin in the patients by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Group A will receive Alpha lipoic acid at baseline for a period of 3 months. Both the groups will receive scaling and rootplaning at baseline.

Being tested
Alpha lipoic acid, Scaling and Root planing

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum Resistin Levels and HBAIC Levels

    2ml of blood sample will be collected by venepuncture at baseline and after 3 months and will be assessed by ELISA stored in EDTA containing vials to identify the levels of resistin in the patients by ELISA.

    Glycosylated hemoglobin levels (Hb1aC) will be recorded at baseline and after 3 months and assessed by Spectrophotometer.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Gingival Index

    Gingival index was recorded with william's periodontal probe at baseline and after 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Probing pocket depth

    Were recorded with william's periodontal probe at baseline and after 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Clinical Attachment levels

    Were recorded with william's periodontal probe at baseline and after 3 months

    Measured: 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alpha lipoic acid and Scaling and Root planing in people with Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontitis, run by Panineeya Mahavidyalaya Institute of Dental Sciences & Research Centre at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2017. 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 India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Serum Resistin Levels and HBAIC Levels (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02775266, which also lists 2 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 13 Mar 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
