Nerve device for diabetic foot numbness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a special device that uses mild electrical pulses to help improve problems caused by diabetic nerve damage, such as numbness and pain in the feet. If you have diabetic neuropathy and can walk on your own, this study may be a good option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation device can reduce nerve pain and improve quality of life in people with diabetes-related nerve damage in the legs. The treatment is non-invasive and may help reduce symptoms and improve walking ability.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation device combined with virtual reality exercises can reduce nerve pain and improve balance in people with diabetes-related nerve damage. The goal is to help you manage pain and feel more steady on your feet.
This trial tests a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive device to stimulate the vagus nerve can reduce nerve pain and improve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. It may be a good option if you have burning or electric-shock-like foot pain despite standard diabetes care.
This study tests whether a combination of mild electrical nerve stimulation (applied to the skin) and virtual-reality training exercises can improve quality of life and physical activity in people with diabetic nerve damage and pain. The goal is to see if this approach helps reduce nerve pain symptoms.
This study tests special socks with tiny electronic parts to see if they can reduce nerve pain, numbness, and tingling in people with diabetic neuropathy. If you have mild to moderate symptoms and are not taking new medications for it, you may be able to join.
