NCT00134524

Brief Summary

This study is intended to demonstrate that exposure to a high intensity, DC electromagnetic field, as supplied by the investigational device known as the Molecular Magnetic Energizer (MME), will create a clinically meaningful improvement in pain and nerve dysfunction in the feet of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
