About this study

Autonomic neuropathy is a common complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Symptoms from cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy include, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension and insufficient heart rate and blood pressure (BP) regulation during physical exertion. The degree of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy is most commonly measured as cardiac autonomic neuropathy based on at least two abnormal cardiac reflex tests, which primarily measures parasympathetic indices of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

Few measures are available for quantifying the sympathetic/adrenergic branch of the ANS.

Circadian changes in BP is a documented measure of BP variability, regulated centrally by a multitude of centers. A growing number of studies indicate that a diminished BP variability is associated with increased cardiovascular risk and injury. The ANS plays a pivotal role in the execution of these circadian BP changes, mainly through sympathetic adrenergic nerve fibers

Few studies have investigated the applicability of 24-hour indices as predictor for autonomic adrenergic dysfunction. No previous studies have investigated the association between clinical markers of adrenergic function, and 24-hour blood pressure indices in type 2 diabetes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Polyneuropathy Diabetes, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 23 Dec 2019. 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 Denmark. 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?

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?

24 hour Blood Pressure (time frame: 0). 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 23 Dec 2019.
