Nerve therapy for diabetic nerve pain in the feet
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two physical therapy techniques—intraneural facilitation therapy and nerve flossing—to see if they can lessen diabetic nerve pain and symptoms like numbness or burning in the feet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 trial tests a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure that uses fluid injection to free trapped nerves in the lower legs of people with diabetes. The goal is to relieve pain, numbness, and weakness when standard medications haven't worked well enough.
This study compares two physical therapy approaches—educating you about nerve pain combined with gentle nerve stretching exercises versus gentle nerve stretching alone—to see which better reduces pain, improves daily function, and boosts quality of life for people with diabetic nerve pain in the legs.
This study compares two types of exercise to see if they can help improve nerve health in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet or legs. You may join if you have had diabetes for at least 5 years, have moderate blood sugar control, and do not currently exercise regularly.
