Water therapy for diabetic nerve pain, balance, and quality of life
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether water-based exercise (hydrotherapy) can help reduce pain, improve balance, and boost quality of life in people with diabetic nerve damage. It is a non-drug treatment that may offer a gentle way to relieve symptoms.
