Spinal cord stimulation and balance therapy for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have diabetes-related nerve pain, like burning or shooting pain in your feet or legs.
- Your pain is at least a 4 out of 10 on a 0–10 scale.
- You have reduced feeling in your feet (numbness) as measured by a simple test.
- You do not have severe memory or thinking problems.
- You do not have metal implants in your skull or a shunt (a tube in your brain) and no skin allergies to the treatment stickers.

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 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.
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 trial explores whether a new treatment can improve pain, physical activity, and quality of life for people with painful diabetic neuropathy. It also looks at effects on memory and thinking.
This study tests a spinal cord stimulator—a small device that sends electrical pulses to your spinal cord to block pain—as a treatment for stubborn nerve pain in the feet caused by diabetes. It might help when usual pain medicines and other treatments haven't worked.
This trial tests if a special type of spinal cord stimulation (high-frequency SCS) can better relieve painful nerve damage caused by diabetes. If you have long-term burning, stabbing, or electric-shock-like pain in both legs, this treatment may help reduce that pain.
