First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week exercise program that works the trunk, hips, knees, and ankles can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Sixty-four adults with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage will be randomly assigned to either the full-leg program or a standard foot-and-ankle exercise routine. The goal is to see if the more comprehensive approach better eases nerve pain, improves balance, and reduces fear of falling.
