ULTRASONOGRAPHIC EVALUATION OF TALAR CARTILAGE THICKNESS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETIC POLYNEUROPATHY

NCT07801131 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2026-09-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to evaluate talar cartilage thickness in individuals with diabetic polyneuropathy using ultrasonography and to compare the findings with those of healthy individuals. Diabetic polyneuropathy may induce biomechanical alterations in the lower extremities, which can potentially affect ankle joint structures.

Ultrasonography, a non-invasive and accessible imaging method, will be used to measure cartilage thickness. The study includes individuals with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and electromyography-confirmed diabetic polyneuropathy, as well as age-matched healthy control subjects.

The results are expected to improve understanding of musculoskeletal involvement in diabetic polyneuropathy and to support early detection of joint changes.
