Sensory training for balance and walking in diabetes-related nerve damage
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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 study compares two different exercise programs to see which is better at improving balance and walking in older adults with diabetes. You may be able to join if you have had diabetes for at least 5 years and have some numbness or tingling in 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 looks at how diabetes-related nerve damage affects balance and the ability to recover from a stumble. It may help find better ways to prevent falls.
