Feldenkrais method for balance in diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle movement technique called Feldenkrais can help people with diabetic nerve damage improve their balance and control. It may be an option if you have stable blood sugar and can walk on your own.
