Brief Summary:
To compare the effect of both low-level laser versus transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation on vascular changes in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy
Detailed Description:
Diabetic polyneuropathy is a prevalent and severe diabetes-related complication linked to cardiovascular mortality and disease events, even after accounting for risk factors and diabetes status.
Diabetic polyneuropathy affects the peripheral nervous system, leading to dysfunctions in sensory, motor, and autonomic nervous systems. It predisposes diabetics to refractory neuropathic pain, foot ulcers, and amputation, lowering quality of life, increasing mortality, and prompting patients with diabetes to seek medical attention.
Over half of diabetes patients experienced painful diabetic polyneuropathy over the past few decades Painful diabetic polyneuropathy therapy uses various drugs for symptom relief, but they often have systemic side effects and do not slow neuropathy progression. Therefore, investigating non-pharmacological interventions like low-level laser and transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation is crucial for developing more effective and potentially safer pain management options.
low-level laser therapy and transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation are emerging non-invasive interventions that have shown potential in alleviating pain associated with diabetic polyneuropathy, a common diabetes complication affecting quality of life.
The effectiveness of conservative treatment options for painful diabetic polyneuropathy needs further investigation. If one method proves superior in reducing pain, improving macrovascular health, and quality of life, it could guide clinical decisions
