Thai PainPREDICT for detecting neuropathic pain in people with diabetes
Official title: Thai Version of PainPREDICT: Translation, Validation, and Mobile Application Development for Screening Painful Diabetic Neuropathy in Diabetes Patients
Run by Chulalongkorn University · NCT07195045 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test a Thai-language PainPREDICT questionnaire and a companion mobile app to help identify neuropathic pain in adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with type 1 or type 2 diabetes who can communicate in Thai and provide informed consent are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with neuropathy from other known causes, significant cognitive impairment or severe psychiatric illness, or those who cannot use Thai-language tools are unlikely to benefit from this project.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
The project will translate and culturally adapt the internationally used PainPREDICT questionnaire into Thai, followed by psychometric testing including internal consistency and test-retest reliability. A mobile application embedding the Thai PainPREDICT will be developed and refined through clinician and patient usability testing using the System Usability Scale and qualitative feedback. Finally, diagnostic accuracy and real-world usability will be evaluated in 200–300 adults with diabetes by comparing questionnaire results to clinician diagnosis and objective neurophysiological tests such as nerve conduction studies and quantitative sensory testing. The study is conducted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital and includes subgroup analyses to gauge performance in resource-limited settings.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the Thai PainPREDICT and app could enable earlier, more accessible detection and monitoring of painful diabetic neuropathy and reduce delays to treatment.
How similar studies have gone: The PainPREDICT questionnaire has been validated internationally, but its formal translation, cultural adaptation, and mobile integration for Thai patients are novel.
