NCT ID NCT07675720

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two exercise programs—combined aerobic and resistance training versus seated soleus push-ups—against standard care in people with type 2 diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Researchers will measure blood markers of nerve repair (BDNF, NGF, S100B) and assess changes in symptoms, balance, and quality of life over 8 weeks. The goal is to identify which exercise approach best supports nerve health and function.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

exercise (concurrent training or soleus push-ups)

What this could lead to

If effective, these exercises could offer a simple, drug-free way to support nerve repair and reduce symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial measuring biological markers, not clinical outcomes. Results may not translate to meaningful symptom improvement.
