Scientists test 'Bionic' sensation to fight diabetic nerve pain

NCT ID NCT04658693

Summary

This study is testing whether small implanted electrodes can restore feeling in the feet of people with diabetic nerve damage or limb loss. Researchers will implant devices that send gentle electrical signals to nerves, aiming to recreate natural foot sensations. The goal is to improve balance, walking, and reduce pain for 15 participants who have lost sensation due to diabetes.
