Nerve Stimulation and Virtual Reality for Diabetic Nerve Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a mild electrical stimulation device combined with virtual reality exercises can reduce nerve pain and improve balance in people with diabetes-related nerve damage. The goal is to help you manage pain and feel more steady on your feet.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate to severe nerve pain in your feet or legs from diabetes
- You score 4 or higher on a nerve pain screening questionnaire
- You have numbness or reduced sensation in your feet (measured by a sensitivity test)
- You have no metal implants in your head or brain shunt
- You have no allergies to electrode patches or skin contact materials
- You can follow instructions and participate in sessions (no significant memory or thinking problems)

This study tests a multi-sensory (multiple-sense) stimulation approach to see if it can help people with nerve-related pain in the legs/feet. You must be able to safely take part in MRI-related sessions and answer questions about pain and health history.
This study tests whether a combination of mild electrical nerve stimulation (applied to the skin) and virtual-reality training exercises can improve quality of life and physical activity in people with diabetic nerve damage and pain. The goal is to see if this approach helps reduce nerve pain symptoms.
This trial tests whether combining virtual reality walking with gentle brain stimulation can reduce nerve pain after a spinal cord injury. If you have ongoing nerve pain, this approach may help lessen it.
This trial tests whether using a non-invasive device to stimulate the vagus nerve can reduce nerve pain and improve function in people with diabetic neuropathy. It may be a good option if you have burning or electric-shock-like foot pain despite standard diabetes care.
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage in the legs. It focuses on people with long-lasting type 2 diabetes and significant, treatment-resistant pain.
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.
