NCT00231673

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of topiramate on clinical and electrophysiological parameters in patients with diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy. The study will also evaluate the safety of topiramate in this patient population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in peroneal nerve conduction velocity (NCV) from baseline to the end of the double-blind phase.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes from baseline to the end of the double-blind phase in NCVs of the sural sensory nerve and ulnar (motor and sensory) nerve, and changes in amplitudes and latencies of the peroneal motor, sural sensory, and ulnar nerves. Adverse event reporting.
