Balance exercises for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests two types of exercises to see if they improve balance and daily activities for older adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes that causes numbness or pain in the feet). You may be able to join if you have had type 2 diabetes for at least 5 years and have nerve damage affecting your feet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older.
- You have type 2 diabetes and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in your feet).
- You have been diagnosed with diabetes for at least 5 years.
- You can walk on your own without help.
- You do not have other conditions that severely affect your balance or ability to exercise, like a recent foot injury or amputation.

This study tests a balance training program to see if it improves balance and body awareness in people with type 2 diabetes who are 60 or older. It may help you move better and prevent falls.
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 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 compares two types of exercise to see if they can help improve nerve health in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet or legs. You may join if you have had diabetes for at least 5 years, have moderate blood sugar control, and do not currently exercise regularly.
This study tests whether special exercises that strengthen the small muscles in your foot and ankle can help improve balance, reduce fall risk, and ease walking difficulties caused by diabetic nerve damage (diabetic peripheral neuropathy). You'll be compared to a group doing different ankle and foot exercises.
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.
