High tone vs TENS therapy for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of electrical stimulation (high tone power therapy and TENS) to see which works better for nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may help patients find a non-drug way to manage their pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man between 50 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with diabetic nerve damage (neuropathy).
- Your diabetes is well-controlled, with an A1c between 6.5% and 7%.
- You have had diabetes for more than 10 years.
- You can walk on your own without help.
- You do not have foot ulcers or deformities, and you have not had leg surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests a special muscle stimulation device (called High Tone External Muscle Stimulation) to see if it helps heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with type 2 diabetes who have a chronic, deep foot ulcer that hasn't healed in over 4 months.
This study compares two approaches to treating nerve pain caused by diabetes. You may be eligible if your diabetic neuropathy is moderate to severe and you can reliably use a phone for study steps.
This trial tests if a special type of spinal cord stimulation (high-frequency SCS) can better relieve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. If you have long-term burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain in both legs, this treatment may help reduce that pain.
This study compares two physical therapy methods (ultrasound and high-intensity laser therapy) to see which one better reduces nerve pain, improves strength, and boosts quality of life in people with diabetic foot pain.
