Axonal dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy [ 2014 - 2017 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Arun Krishnan (Principal investigator)

Brief description Diabetic neuropathy causes severe disability, with pain, loss of sensation and weakness. The current project will assess the utility of a new testing method, known as nerve excitability assessment, as a method of detecting early changes in nerve function in diabetic patients. If this technique proves useful in detecting early nerve damage, it will assist in the development of therapeutic and preventative treatments for neuropathy in diabetic patients.
