ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can help relieve symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition that can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in the feet and hands due to nerve damage from diabetes. Over a period of four weeks, participants will receive rTMS and will be closely monitored using questionnaires, nerve tests, and blood tests to check for any improvements in their symptoms.

To be eligible for this study, participants must have a diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy. However, if someone has certain medical conditions that prevent them from safely receiving rTMS or if they have a psychological condition that makes it hard to understand the study, they won't be able to participate. This study is open to adults of all genders, and while it is not yet recruiting participants, it aims to help improve the lives of those suffering from this challenging condition.
