Detection of Visual-Auditory Reaction Rates in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2; Nerve Damage; Cognitive Dysfunction
• Interventions: Device: recation time test

• Registration Number: NCT05725889
• Lead Sponsor: Baskent University

Brief Summary

Background: The primary purpose of our study was to understand the damage in the peripheral nerves of patients with diabetes and to determine the change in patients' reaction rates and perceptions by the age groups, duration of diabetes, fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c values, and compare these with those of the healthy individuals.

Methods: This study was carried out at the Baskent University Hospital Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases Outpatient Clinic. A total of 64 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and 64 healthy controls were included in the study. Finger tapping, visual, and auditory reaction time tests were performed on the subjects, respectively. The subjects' fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c levels, and the duration of their diabetes were recorded. Analyses were performed using the SPSS version 25. Differences were considered statistically significant when the p-value is \<0.05.
