Summary

This study tests a drug-free approach for restless leg syndrome (RLS) in people with type 2 diabetes. 42 adults aged 50-65 will receive either vibration, near-infrared light, or both, plus stretching, for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in pain, sleep quality, and RLS severity to see if the combination works better than each therapy alone.
