Light and vibration for restless legs in type 2 diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining near-infrared light and vibration therapy can help people with type 2 diabetes who also have restless legs syndrome (an overwhelming urge to move the legs, especially at night).
