The study titled Comparing the Effects of Foot Exercise vs Electrical Stimulation on Pain, Quality of Sleep, and Community Participation in Individuals with Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy is a randomized controlled trial conducted by Ashmita Ashok Vernekar at SDM College of Physiotherapy, Dharwad, under the guidance of Dr. Salima Mulla Bijapuri. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is a common and debilitating complication of type 2 diabetes, leading to pain, sleep disturbances, and reduced functional mobility. The study aims to assess the effectiveness of foot exercises and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in reducing pain and improving sleep quality compared to standard diabetic care. Sixty-three participants aged 40 and above, diagnosed with painful DPN, will be randomly assigned to three groups: foot exercises, TENS therapy, and control. Each intervention will be administered three times per week for four weeks. Outcomes will be measured using standardized tools such as the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), DN4, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Single Leg Stance (SLS) test, and Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). The novelty of the study lies in its shorter intervention duration aimed at better adherence and its holistic approach addressing both pain and sleep—two critical yet often neglected aspects of DPN management. The findings are expected to support the use of non-pharmacological interventions like TENS and foot exercises as effective, affordable, and accessible treatment strategies for DPN, potentially improving patient quality of life and setting the foundation for future research in physiotherapy-based diabetic care.
