Biofeedback to improve walking for diabetic nerve damage
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can walk about 30 feet (10 meters) on your own without a cane or walker.
- You have been diagnosed with diabetes and diabetic nerve damage in your feet.
- You are healthy enough to walk on a treadmill for 6 minutes at a comfortable pace.
- You have had a foot checkup within the last 6 months and have your doctor's OK to take part.

This study looks at how well people with diabetes-related nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy) can walk, using a treadmill and walking distance tests. It may help improve understanding of walking limits and how to measure change over time.
This trial tests if a special sensory training program can improve balance, walking, and daily function in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage (neuropathy). It may help you move better and feel more steady on your feet.
This study tests if a supervised exercise program can help improve movement problems caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). If you have type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in your feet or legs, this program might help you walk better and feel stronger.
This study compares two exercise programs—Otago and Beat it—to see which helps people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet improve their balance, walking ability, and quality of life. Both programs use targeted exercises to strengthen legs and improve stability.
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.
This study tests if a supervised exercise program can improve symptoms and daily function in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). It aims to help those who are not very active and need some supervision but not full assistance.
