Summary: What is Daibetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN)?

Almost 21 million people in the United States have diabetes. About half of the people with diabetes get nerve damage. This nerve damage is called "neuropathy". "Peripheral neuropathy" is nerve damage in the arms, legs,hands, or especially in the feet. It can cause pain, especially in the feet and legs. The pain experienced can feel like a "burning" pain with numbness and tingling.

You may be able to be in a clinical research study if you have diabetes causing pain in your arms, hands, legs, or your feet. The purpose of this study is to figure out the best amount of study medicine for doctors to use in helping diabetes-related pain, also called diabetes-related neuropathic pain.

If you take part in the study, you can expect 10 visits to the clinic. Your time in the study will last about 5 months. There is no cost to you for all study-related office visits, medical exams, and study medicine.

You may be able to be in this study if you:

• Are at least 18 years old
• Have been diagnosed with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes
• have had diabetes-related pain in the arms, legs, hands, or feet for the last 6 months
