Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study tests whether adding nerve gliding exercises (neural mobilization) to standard balance training can reduce pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life in people with diabetic neuropathy. Thirty-two adults aged 50-75 with type 2 diabetes and nerve pain will be split into two groups: one gets nerve exercises plus balance training, the other gets balance training alone. Both groups also receive standard physical therapy. The trial lasts six weeks and measures pain, balance, and quality of life before and after treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
neural mobilization (nerve gliding exercises) plus balance training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain and improve balance and daily life for people with diabetic neuropathy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment is an add-on, not a cure, and benefits may be modest.
