NCT ID NCT07619794
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether combining a mild electrical stimulation of the spinal cord (tSCS) with augmented reality (AR) exercises can reduce pain and improve balance in people with diabetic neuropathy. About 36 adults with moderate to severe nerve pain will receive the combined treatment. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach offers lasting relief and better mobility.
