Pain education and nerve exercises for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether a special type of physical therapy (called intraneural facilitation therapy and nerve flossing) can help reduce nerve pain and improve feeling in your feet. The goal is to find a drug-free way to ease symptoms of diabetic neuropathy.
This study tests whether two different exercise routines can help boost brain chemicals linked to nerve health in people with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage. You would be assigned to one of two exercise groups for a set period, and researchers will check if your nerve-related symptoms improve.
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.
This study compares two types of nerve gliding exercises to see which works better for reducing burning pain, improving muscle strength, and increasing movement in patients with diabetes-related nerve damage.
This study tests whether combining foot and ankle exercises with mindful walking can reduce pain and improve mobility in people with diabetic nerve damage in their feet.
