Nerve gliding exercises may ease diabetic nerve pain and improve balance

This study tests whether adding nerve gliding exercises (neural mobilization) to standard balance training can reduce pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life in people with diabetic neuropathy. Thirty-two adults aged 50-75 with type 2 diabetes and nerve pain will be split into two groups: one gets nerve exercises plus balance training, the other gets balance training alone. Both groups also receive standard physical therapy. The trial lasts six weeks and measures pain, balance, and quality of life before and after treatment.
