Were any clinical trials for Dr. Oz–promoted neuropathy remedies registered on ClinicalTrials.gov and what were their results?
Executive summary
Available search results do not identify any ClinicalTrials.gov registrations that explicitly match “Dr. Oz–promoted neuropathy remedies” or name Dr. Mehmet Oz as a sponsor or investigator; the indexed items instead show many institutional neuropathy trials at UC San Diego, UCSF, UC Davis and others (examples: UCSD, UCSF, UC Davis listings) [1] [2] [3]. Reporting and promotional material that links Dr. Oz to specific neuropathy products are present in lifestyle or advice pages, but the search corpus contains no ClinicalTrials.gov entries tying those promoted remedies to completed trial results (available sources do not mention a ClinicalTrials.gov record for a Dr. Oz–promoted neuropathy product).
1. What the public records in this search actually show — academic trials, not celebrity products
The search hits are dominated by university clinical-trial listings for peripheral neuropathy and related studies at UC San Diego, UCSF, UC Davis and the University of California health network, which advertise Phase II/III studies of drugs (for example, trials of duloxetine for chemotherapy‑induced neuropathy and investigational compounds like NRD135S.E1) and platform protocols under NIH initiatives [1] [2] [3] [4]. Those pages describe institutional research opportunities and outcome measures; none of the listed items in the provided results name Dr. Oz or consumer remedies he has promoted [1] [2] [3] [4].
2. Absence of evidence in the provided sources — what that means and what it does not
Within the supplied search results there is no ClinicalTrials.gov registration or university trial page that explicitly ties a branded “Dr. Oz–promoted neuropathy remedy” to a registered clinical trial or published result. That is not the same as proof such trials never existed; it means the current reporting and database excerpts you provided do not mention any ClinicalTrials.gov records for Dr. Oz–endorsed neuropathy products (available sources do not mention a ClinicalTrials.gov record for a Dr. Oz–promoted neuropathy product).
3. Where coverage does link Dr. Oz to health advice — but not to registered trials
The corpus contains lifestyle and advice items referencing Dr. Oz’s commentary about pain and neuropathy management (for instance, pieces that list topical agents, capsaicin, menthol, or CBD-derived topical uses) and third‑party Q&A pages that quote or claim Dr. Oz’s perspective, but these are informational or promotional, not clinical-trial reports [5] [6]. Those items discuss mechanisms or small studies (including animal work) but do not equate to randomized, registered trials of products he promoted [5].
4. Examples of bona fide neuropathy trials found in the results — context for what registered studies look like
The university pages in the results show the kinds of trials that appear on ClinicalTrials.gov: randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled studies, platform Phase II work under NIH HEAL or trials testing agents such as duloxetine, topical pirenzepine, GM1, or investigational non‑opioid compounds like ART26.12 [1] [7] [4] [8]. These entries include outcome measures, dose regimens, and sponsors; they illustrate the contrast between legitimate registered research and unregistered promotional claims [1] [7] [8].
5. Why this matters — distinguishing promotion from evidence
Registered clinical trials produce protocols, prespecified outcomes, and (eventually) posted results allowing independent assessment; university trial listings in the search reflect that standard [1] [2]. Promotional or advice columns—even if well‑known personalities endorse a product—do not substitute for trial registration and posted results. The material tying Dr. Oz to consumer health advice in the search is not accompanied here by ClinicalTrials.gov entries or trial results for specific remedies he promoted [5] [6].
6. Next steps if you want definitive confirmation
To answer conclusively whether any Dr. Oz–endorsed neuropathy product has a registered trial and what its results were, consult ClinicalTrials.gov directly using the product/brand names promoted by Dr. Oz, and check peer‑reviewed publications tied to the trial identifiers. The provided search results point you to many registered academic neuropathy trials (UCSD, UCSF, UC Davis, UC system) but do not contain records or results that link those trials to Dr. Oz–promoted remedies [1] [2] [3] [4].
Limitations: this analysis uses only the supplied search results; if a ClinicalTrials.gov entry or peer‑reviewed paper exists linking a Dr. Oz‑promoted neuropathy product to a registered trial, it is not present in the current reporting (available sources do not mention such a record).
