Breathing technique for pain during nerve test in diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a simple breathing technique (4-7-8 breathing) can reduce pain and anxiety during an EMG test (a nerve test) for people with diabetic neuropathy. It might help you feel more comfortable during the procedure.
