NCT07274735
Brief Summary:
DPN often leads to balance issues, sensory deficits, and chronic pain, which can severely impact daily functioning and independence. INF therapy aims to improve nerve blood flow and alleviate neuropathic symptoms through manual techniques, while the Otago Exercise Program focuses on enhancing strength and balance to reduce fall risk. By comparing these two interventions, this study seeks to identify effective strategies that can improve balance, reduce pain, and enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from DPN
Detailed Description:
This study addresses a gap in existing literature by comparing the effects of intraneural facilitation therapy and Otago exercise in improving balance, pain and QOL among DPN patients. While both Intraneural Facilitation (INF) therapy and the Otago Exercise Program have been acknowledged for their individual benefits, their comparative effectiveness in the context of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) has not been adequately explored. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining which intervention more effectively improves quality of life, reduces pain, and enhances balance in DPN patients, thus providing essential insights for optimizing treatment approaches.
