NCT01368549

Brief Summary

This study will be an observational study in which patients who have been prescribed Metanx® are invited to participate in surveys regarding their experiences with Metanx®. The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of the role of Metanx® in managing diabetic neuropathy, provide patients with personalized education and support, and contribute to the overall understanding of the needs and concerns of patients being treated for diabetic neuropathy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To determine if Metanx® improves neuropathic symptoms as evaluated by the Neuropathy Total Symptom Score-6 (NTSS-6)

    Baseline, Week 6 and Week 12

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • To determine if Metanx® affects a subject's pain level using a 10-point Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    Baseline, Week 6 and Week 12

  • To determine if Metanx® affects a subject's "quality of life" as determined by a symptom impact module.

    Baseline, Week 6 and Week 12

  • To determine overall patient satisfaction with Metanx® using a 10-point satisfaction scale

    Baseline, Week 6 and Week 12

Study Arms (1)

Metanx®

Subjects with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy who have been prescribed Metanx® daily.

Other: Metanx® (a medical food)

Interventions

Metanx® is an orally-administered medical food, and each tablet contains 3mg of L-methylfolate, 35mg of Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, and 2 mg of Methylcobalamin- which are the biologically active and immediately bioavailable forms of folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12, respectively. Dosage will be 1 tablet BID.
