NCT ID NCT07000214
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding peripheral magnetic stimulation to balance exercises can lower fall risk in older adults with diabetic polyneuropathy. Forty participants will receive either real or sham magnetic pulses to their feet while doing balance training. The goal is to see if the stimulation improves standing balance and walking ability.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Peripheral magnetic stimulation (device)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-drug way to improve balance and reduce falls in older adults with diabetic nerve damage.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase proof-of-concept study with only 40 participants. The benefits may not be large or last long, and the device may not work better than sham stimulation.
