Ceylon Cinnamon for blood sugar, lipids, BMI, and pain in painful diabetic neuropathy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial conducted at endocrinology clinics in Jordan. Adults with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy and type 2 diabetes are randomized to receive either 500 mg of Ceylon cinnamon twice daily plus standard care or a matching placebo for six months. The study aims to see if cinnamon can favorably modify metabolic markers and pain intensity compared with standard care alone. Outcomes include blood glucose, lipid profile, body mass index, and pain scores, with attention to safety and tolerability. The trial addresses the potential role of a plant-based nutraceutical as an adjunct to conventional management of PDPN.
