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.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation therapy can help relieve nerve symptoms and improve quality of life in people with diabetes who also have poor leg circulation. The therapy is non-invasive and applied to the affected area, aiming to reduce pain and numbness.
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 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 study compares different ways to treat painful diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes). If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of the treatment options to see which works best for pain relief.
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends electrical pulses to your spinal cord to block pain—as a treatment for stubborn nerve pain in the feet caused by diabetes. It might help when usual pain medicines and other treatments haven't worked.
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.
