Diabetic polyneuropathy

This study looked at whether a 12-week intensive lifestyle program focused on weight loss and diabetes control could improve diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a common nerve complication. Fifty adults with diabetes and a BMI between 30 and 45 took part. The program included diet, e…

Diabetic polyneuropathy damages nerves in the feet, dulling the sense of touch and raising the risk of unnoticed injuries. This trial tests whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) can restore that sensation. Researchers compare high-frequency TENS, low-frequenc…

This study tested whether teaching good sleep habits could help people with painful diabetic nerve damage sleep better and feel better overall. Twenty-four patients were split into two groups: one received a booklet and face-to-face sleep training from a nurse, while the other co…

This study tested two non-invasive treatments—low-level laser and transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation—in 30 adults with diabetic neuropathy. The goal was to see which better improves blood flow and reduces nerve pain. Participants had diabetes for over 5 years and stable blood…

This study looked at two ways to help people with diabetic nerve pain in their legs: high-intensity laser therapy and moderate aerobic exercise. Sixty adults with symptoms like numbness, tingling, or burning took part. The goal was to see which approach improves leg function and …

Researchers are using ultrasound to measure the thickness of ankle cartilage in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage, and comparing it with healthy adults. Diabetic polyneuropathy may change how the lower limbs move, which could affect the ankle joint. The study incl…

This study looks at whether a substance in the blood called neurofilament light chain (NfL) is linked to how severe nerve damage is, how well people balance, and their risk of falling. Researchers will measure NfL levels in 80 adults with type 2 diabetes, some with and some witho…

This completed observational study looked at 84 people to understand how diabetic polyneuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes) changes the median nerve in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers used advanced ultrasound techniques, including shear wave elastography and m…
