The Treatment of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy With Diet

Sponsor: AdventHealth

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether targeted nutritional changes can improve symptoms of painful diabetic neuropathy. Impaired blood flow to peripheral nerves-resulting in reduced oxygen delivery and subsequent nerve injury-is a well-established contributor to neuropathy. Prior studies have shown that a whole-food, plant-based diet without added oils can improve or even reverse arterial disease, suggesting a potential mechanism for enhancing nerve perfusion and function. This study is a randomized controlled trial comparing a whole-food, plant-based diet with standard pharmacologic management for painful diabetic neuropathy.
