Thai foot massage for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether Thai foot massage can help reduce nerve pain and improve foot sensation in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have diabetes and some numbness or pain in your feet, this might be a way to see if massage can help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
