简要总结
This study aims to determine the role of Synchronized Lifestyle modification program along with Physiotherapy on the symptoms of DPN in patients on insulin therapy.
详细描述
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder which influence about 8.3% of adult population and is the fifth major cause of death globally. In Pakistan, prevalence of type 2 diabetes is 16.98% according to recent survey held in 2019. DM is classified into type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, there is an absolute deficiency of insulin secretion due to an autoimmune pathologic process occurring in beta islets of pancreas. While Type 2 diabetes is characterized by a combination of insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion with resultant hyperglycemia leading to micro and macrovascular complications. Macrovascular complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke and peripheral artery disease. Amongst microvascular complications, Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complication in both developed and developing countries. DPN is a symmetrical, length-dependent sensorimotor polyneuropathy which is attributed to metabolic and micro vessel alterations due to hyperglycemia and concomitant cardiovascular risk covariates. Major risk factors for development of DPN include duration of diabetes, hyperglycemia, and age, followed by prediabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity. DPN can engender disablement in touch sensation, vibration sense, lower limb proprioception, and kinesthesia thus contributing to impaired balance, altered gait with increased risk of falling. DPN occurs in more than 50% of people with type 2 diabetes. It is a salient risk factor for skin breakdown, amputation, and reduced physical mobility consequently lowering the quality of life Management of DPN is multifaceted and includes efforts to alter the natural history (lifestyle changes) and symptomatic treatments through pharmacological interventions. Daily habits and actions exert an enormous influence on short-term and long-term health and quality of life. Importance of dietary modification is enhanced if it is synchronized with the circadian rhythm of the body. Therefore, Synchronized Lifestyle modification program is a personalized, homeostasis restoring, liver centric lifestyle modification program that works through the correction of body clock rhythm. Lifestyle medicine comprises of cluster of positive lifestyle practices including maintenance of a healthy body weight, regular physical activity, cessation of cigarette smoking, stress reduction as well following a few nutritional practices such as increasing whole grains and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Lifestyle modification, including diet and exercise, slow the progression of neuropathy by promoting small nerve fiber regeneration. Dietary modifications include intake of nutrient, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, low-fat dairy, lean meats, nuts, and seeds. These foods help to maintain body weight, attain individualized glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid goals and prevent complications of diabetes. Exercise improves three of the biggest risk factors for diabetic neuropathy including insulin sensitivity and glucose control, obesity, and dyslipidemia. These exercises include aerobic exercise that improves glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in diabetics. Strength training exercise improves postural sway during standing, and gait characteristics during level-ground walking. While the flexibility exercise are suggested for refining distal joint mobility and plantar pressure distribution during gait. Thus, Exercise is known to enhance multiple metabolic factors that may affect nerve health and microvascular function, which may indirectly protect against peripheral nerve damage.

结局指标
主要结局
Measurement of Diastolic Blood Pressure
时间窗: 12 weeks
Changes from baseline are assessed by using Mercury Sphygmomanometer with minimum value of 60 millimeter of Mercury and maximum value of 90 millimeter of Mercury. Below 60 millimeter of Mercury is considered as low diastolic pressure and above 90 millimeter of Mercury is considered as high diastolic pressure
Assessment of Presence and Severity of Neuropathy by Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI)
时间窗: 12 weeks
Changes from baseline are assessed by Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) that consists of a history questionnaire comprising of 15 questions related to symptoms of diabetic neuropathy with a score of \>7 is considered as abnormal and Physical examination that consists of inspection of foot for deformities, ulcers and callus formation, Ankle reflex and vibration sensation with a score of \>2.5 is considered abnormal
