Monitoring Effect Of Shock Wave On Microcirculation Changes In Type2 Diabetes Mellitus

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Shock Wave and Nitric Oxide

• Registration Number: NCT06159192
• Lead Sponsor: South Valley University

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to monitor the effect of low intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy on impaired nitric oxide synthase and microcirculation changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral neuropathy.

Detailed Description

Low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) improved peripheral nerve repair and regeneration. Li-ESWT exerts its biological effects by increasing neuro¬trophic factors, Schwann cell activation, and cellular signaling activation. Li-ESWT could be a novel treatment for nerve injury-induced diabetic neuropathy and other conditions related to nerve in¬jury.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
• Numerical Rating Pain Scale	six weeks	• The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is designed for anyone over age 9. It is one of the most commonly used pain scales in health care. To use it, you just say the number that best matches the level of pain you are feeling; you can also place a mark on the scale itself. Zero means you have no pain, while 10 represents the most intense pain possible.
• Nitric oxide level and electrophysiological investigations of peripheral nerves and muscles was measured pre and post treatment.	six weeks	1. Laboratory methods: Nitric oxide laboratories for measurement of nitric oxide level.3. Electrodiagnostic studies are sensitive, specific, and validated measures of the presence of polyneuropathy.
