Balance training for diabetic nerve pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years or older and have type 2 diabetes.
- You have been diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes).
- You can stand and walk on your own.
- You have balance problems, such as a low score on a balance test or a history of falls or near-falls.
- You can reach forward 6 to 10 inches in a functional reach test.
- You can stand up from a chair, walk, and return in 14 seconds or less.

This study tests whether adding special movement exercises (called proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) to standard Otago exercises can help improve balance and reduce the risk of falls in people with type 2 diabetes who have nerve damage in their feet.
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 if using a stabilometric platform (a balance board) can help improve balance and reduce symptoms in people with peripheral neuropathy, a condition that often causes tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hands and feet. It may help you feel more steady and confident in your daily activities.
This study compares two balance exercise programs (Otago and sensorimotor training) to see which works better for improving balance and reducing falls in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study tests two exercise programs to improve balance and daily activities in older adults with type 2 diabetes and nerve damage in their feet. It may help you feel steadier and do daily tasks more easily.
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.
