Brief Summary

Diabetic neuropathy, a challenging condition resulting from poorly managed type-1 or type-2 diabetes mellitus, often proves resistant to conventional medications when it comes to alleviating the associated symptoms. In such cases, implementing a well-organized exercise regimen has proven beneficial in mitigating diverse symptoms associated with the condition and enhancing the overall quality of life for affected individuals.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI)

    The scale consists of two parts: the first part involves a patient history assessment, while the second part focuses on physical examination. This scale is considered both reliable and practical for evaluating the severity of neuropathy. If the patient's score increases, it indicates a higher severity of the disease, whereas if the score decreases, it suggests a lower severity.

    The measurement will be taken during the baseline assessment and again after the completion of treatment.

  • Biothesiometer

    This objective measure is utilized to assess the vibratory pressure threshold in affected areas. It possesses the capability to detect various frequencies for vibratory pressure threshold assessment. It is regarded as a practical tool for evaluating both superficial and vibratory sensations. If there is an increased perception of frequency, it indicates that the vibratory pressure threshold is more severely affected.

    The measurement will be taken during the baseline assessment and again after the completion of treatment.

  • NeuroQoL

    The Neuropathy-and Foot-Ulcer Specific Quality of Life Instrument is designed as a Likert scale and serves as a reliable method for assessing quality of life related to neuropathy. If the scoring indicates a higher value, it suggests that the disease is more severe.

    The measurement will be taken during the baseline assessment and again after the completion of treatment.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • NPRS

    The measurement will be taken during the baseline assessment and again after the completion of treatment.
