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.

- You are currently receiving dialysis
- You can walk on your own (or with walking assistance) for 20 meters
