Numerous clinical trials evaluate the therapeutic potential of alpha-lipoic acid from Early Phase 1 through Phase 4 across metabolic, neurological, and inflammatory conditions, including type 2 diabetes, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, lumbosacral radicular pain, sepsis, multiple sclerosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Sponsored by academic and medical institutions, these studies investigate outcomes such as sepsis management, immunological responses in multiple sclerosis, and cardiovascular parameters in diabetic patients. Across this research landscape, trial recruitment statuses range from actively recruiting and completed to withdrawn.
