NIR- and Multifrequent Impedance Spectroscopy on the Skin in Type 1 Diabetes (NIR)

October 15, 2012 updated by: Lise Tarnow

NIR (Near Infrared)- Spectroscopy and Multifrequent Impedance Spectroscopy on the Skin to Detection of Sensory and Autonomic Neuropathy Among Patients With Type 1 Diabetes

The aim of the study is to examine the suitability to detect diabetic neuropathy using NIR and impedance.

Conditions

Detailed Description

The aim of the study is to examine how suitable a hand-held measuring probe (DDD-probe) using NIR (near infrared light) as well as impedance (conductivity), is to detect early signs of diabetic neuropathy.

The DDD-probe is put directly on the skin and is measuring by the use of light and impedance.
