Breathing exercise to ease pain during nerve test in diabetic neuropathy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise (4-7-8 technique) can help reduce pain and anxiety during a common nerve test called electromyography (EMG). If you have nerve pain from diabetes, this might make the test more comfortable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a daily dose of CBD (a cannabis compound) can help reduce nerve pain from type 2 diabetes. It's a small, early study to see if it's safe and effective.
This study tests whether foot massages with scented oils (aromatherapy) can reduce nerve pain in people with type 2 diabetes. If you have burning, shooting, or tingling pain in your feet, this gentle therapy might help you feel better.
This study tests whether a simple breathing exercise and a cold pack can help reduce pain and anxiety while a wound is being cleaned (called sharp debridement). If you are having a wound cleaned and feel anxious about it, this may be a way to feel more comfortable.
This study looks at how the nervous system becomes extra sensitive in people with diabetic nerve pain. It may help doctors understand why some people with diabetes feel pain and others don't, which could lead to better treatments.
This study tests whether a brain training method called neurofeedback can help reduce nerve pain caused by diabetes. It may offer a new, non-drug way to manage pain.
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.
