Effects of Buerger Exercises With Whole Body Vibration on Pain, Balance and Lower Limb Perfusion in Patients With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Group A and Group B for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathic Pain and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 64 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a combined intervention of Buerger exercises and whole-body vibration therapy can improve pain, circulation, and balance in adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Participants will: Perform Buerger exercises three times daily in both groups. Receive whole-body vibration therapy three times per week (intervention group only). Complete assessments at baseline, the 4th, 8th, 12th weeks, and a follow-up at the 16th week. Outcome measures include pain rating, ankle-brachial index, balance scale, and timed mobility test. Statistical analyses will assess within-group and between-group effects based on data distribution.

Timeline
Interventions
Participants will perform Buerger exercises three times daily, with each session including three cycles. Additionally, they will receive Whole Body Vibration therapy at a frequency of 25 Hz, three times per week. Each WBV session will last 12 minutes, divided into four 3-minute bouts, aiming to improve pain, balance, and lower limb circulation in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients.
Participants will perform Buerger exercises three times daily, with each session consisting of three cycles. This exercise regimen is aimed at assessing its effectiveness on pain, balance, and circulation in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients, serving as a comparison to the combined intervention with WBV therapy.
