简要总结
This study are to:
- Evaluate effect of magnetic therapy on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients.
- Evaluate effect of laser therapy on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients.
- Compare effects of magnetic therapy with that of laser therapy on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients.
详细描述
Sixty- five male and female diabetic patients with peripheral neuropathy will be selected to participate in this study. They will be equally divided into two groups Group-I: Twenty five patient with diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be exposed to low intensity pulsed magnetic therapy Group-II: Twenty five patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy will be exposed for 24 treatment sessions of laser therapy Group-III 15 patient received only medical treatment

研究组 & 干预措施
Magnetic Therapy
Twenty five patient were exposed to low intensity pulsed magnetic therapy with a frequency of 200 Hertz and intensity of 50 Gauss for 30 minutes / session for 2 times per week for 3 months .
干预措施: Magnetic therapy (Device)
Laser Therapy
Twenty five patients were treated with 24 sessions of laser therapy at a rate of two sessions / week for three months. Each patient will be exposed to Helium neon infrared laser (850 nano-meter continuous wave mode from a comfortable prone lying position.
干预措施: laser therapy (Device)
Medical therapy
Fifteen patients were received only medical treatment .
干预措施: Only medical treatment (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Motor and sensory conduction velocity of the lower limb nerves
时间窗: 30-45 minutes
it is used for measuring motor and sensory conduction velocity: For this purpose nerve conduction studies (NCSs) will be performed for all patients including evaluation of bilateral peroneal and tibia motor nerves and sural sensory nerves (Asad 2009). Patients with NCV from 33-48m /sec will be recruited in this study (Pericz and Cvetkovic 2006 , and Graak 2009). All measurement will be done at stander room temperature of 25 c. The skin temperature of the leg was maintained at 37ᴄ. (Asad et al 2009).
