Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Electrical stimulation therapy through stocking electrodes for painful diabetic neuropathy: a double blind, controlled crossover study.
Peripheral neuropathy affects more than a third of diabetic patients, of whom a significant minority will have disabling symptoms. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of pulsed-dose electrical stimulation (through stocking electrodes) in the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy. ⋯ There is no evidence from these results that this treatment is more effective than control in the treatment of painful diabetic neuropathy.
