First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether applying pregabalin gel through ultrasound (phonophoresis) combined with nerve flossing exercises can reduce pain and improve sensation in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The trial includes 24 adults aged 40–75 who have chronic nerve pain in their feet. Participants are randomly assigned to receive the combined treatment or a control, and pain levels and sensory function are measured before and after the intervention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- pregabalin gel
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this combination approach could offer a non-invasive, drug-sparing way to reduce neuropathic pain and improve sensory function in people with diabetic neuropathy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 24 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment may not outperform standard care, and individual responses can vary.
