Electrical stimulation and heat for people with diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if a device that uses mild electrical stimulation and controlled heat can help people with diabetes. You will wear a boot for 60 minutes while the device is applied to your leg.

This study tests if heat therapy can help older adults with type 2 diabetes manage their condition. You will be asked to wear a special garment that circulates warm water to raise your body temperature safely.
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 a treatment called spinal cord stimulation for people with diabetic foot pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It uses mild electrical pulses to block pain signals and might help if you can't have or don't want surgery on your leg blood vessels.
This study tests whether a special electrical stimulation treatment to the soles of the feet during dialysis can improve balance and walking in people with diabetes who have nerve damage in the feet. If it works, it may help reduce fall risk and improve mobility.
This trial tests three different electrical stimulation foot pad programs to see how they affect blood flow in the legs of healthy adults. It may help improve leg health by using mild electrical pulses on the feet.
