Nerve gliding for pain, balance, and quality of life in diabetic nerve damage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding nerve gliding exercises (neural mobilization) to usual care can reduce pain, improve balance, and enhance quality of life for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It may help if you have mild to moderate nerve pain and are between 50 and 75 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 50 and 75 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years.
- You have been diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in your feet or legs).
- You have symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, or trouble with balance.
- Your pain level is mild to moderate (can be rated on a 0–10 scale).
- You do not have other nerve or balance conditions (like stroke, Parkinson's, or severe balance problems).

This study compares two types of exercise to help improve balance in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. You may join if you have diabetes-related nerve damage and trouble with balance.
This study tests whether adding special movement exercises (called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to standard Otago exercises can help improve balance and reduce the risk of falls in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet.
This study compares two types of nerve gliding exercises to see which works better for reducing burning pain, improving muscle strength, and increasing movement in patients with diabetes-related nerve damage.
This study tests two types of balance exercises for people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet (diabetic neuropathy). One group practices balancing on a firm surface, and the other on a rolling board. The goal is to see which approach improves balance better and helps reduce fall risk.
This study compares two types of physical therapy for nerve pain in the legs caused by diabetes. One group gets standard nerve gliding exercises, and the other also learns about how pain works. The goal is to see which approach better reduces pain and improves daily function.
This study tests whether a non-invasive spinal cord treatment plus balance exercises can reduce nerve pain and improve balance in people with diabetes-related nerve damage. It may help if you have burning or shooting foot pain from diabetes.
