Electrical stimulation during dialysis to improve walking and balance
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation treatment to the soles of the feet during dialysis can improve balance and walking in people with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet. If it works, it may help reduce fall risk and improve mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 40 or older and have diabetes
- You are currently receiving dialysis
- You can walk on your own (or with walking assistance) for 20 meters
- You have nerve damage in your feet (peripheral neuropathy) from diabetes
- You can understand the study and agree to consent

This study tests a special biofeedback system to help people with diabetic nerve damage walk better. You'll use sensors during treadmill walking to see if real-time feedback can improve your stride and balance.
This study tests a new treatment called Plazepod (an electrical stimulation device) compared to regular electrical stimulation to see if it helps prevent falls in people on dialysis. The study wants to find out if this treatment can improve balance and reduce the risk of falling.
This trial tests if adding a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment to balance exercises can reduce fall risk in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet and legs.
This trial tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve feeling and steadiness in the feet of older adults who have numbness or reduced sensation. It aims to help with balance and walking.
This study tests whether adding a type of electrical stimulation to leg muscles during walking can improve walking ability for people who are at least 6 months past a stroke. If you have weakness on one side and can walk on a treadmill with some help, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether special sensory training exercises can improve your balance, walking, and daily physical function if you have type 2 diabetes with nerve damage in your feet. You will do supervised exercises and the researchers will measure how you move and balance before and after.
