ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different treatments—therapeutic ultrasound and high-intensity laser therapy—to see how they help with pain, strength, and overall quality of life for patients suffering from diabetic foot issues. The study focuses on people with type 2 diabetes who have been living with nerve pain in their legs or feet for at least six months. The goal is to find out which of these treatments works better for relieving pain and improving daily functioning.

To participate in this trial, you need to be between 50 and 75 years old and have been diagnosed with diabetes for at least seven years. Both men and women are welcome to join, but certain conditions, like being pregnant or having had major surgeries on your back or legs, would exclude you. If you decide to participate, you can expect to receive one of the two therapies and be monitored for changes in your pain, strength, and quality of life during the study. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so it's a great opportunity to explore new treatment options for diabetic foot pain.
