Effects of Moderate Physical Activity on Early Symptoms of Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy in Type-II Diabetes: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This study determines the effects of moderate physical activity on early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in type-II diabetes. Most of the literature shows the impact of physical activity to manage/controlling diabetes. Some studies were conducted on animals to study the impact of physical activity on diabetic neuropathy and neurogenesis. There is no study on the impact of physical activity to manage early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in patients with type-II diabetes in humans. This study finds the impact of moderate physical activity to manage early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in patients with type-II diabetes in humans.

Treatment and study plan

Moderate Physical Activity for Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy

Other

Moderate physical activity can increase movement and heart rate are particularly important for people suffering with peripheral neuropathy. Physical activity can improve blood circulation, which strengthens nerve tissues by increasing the flow of oxygen.

Primary outcomes

  1. Effect of moderate physical activity on early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in type-II diabetes
