Missouri-Based Foot Pain Study

The 13-week study will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of Qutenza — a patch made with capsaicin, the substance that gives hot peppers their kick — in people who have diabetic foot pain. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old, must have been diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in both feet, and must have access to a phone. Women who are pregnant are nursing are not eligible to participate. All participants will be compensated for their time and travel and will receive free study medicine and medical care.
