Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control Group  Control group will receive sham Neuromuscular Taping (Sham NMT) and TENS with same parameters as experimental group but sham taping will be done without any tension in tape.  
Intervention  EXPERIMENTAL GROUP  Experimental group will receive Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS). given 3 times a week for 8 weeks (24 sessions).NMT will be done at first day and will be replaced at 3rd day of every week. NMT will be done at tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior, peroneus longus muscles and medial arch of foot. TENS will be applied at distribution of tibial nerve and peroneal nerve.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is defined as “the presence of symptoms or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after exclusion of other causes. 60-70% of diabetic population experience mild to severe damage to nervous system which leads to DPN which usually involves distal body parts and is characterised as distal symmetrical sensorimotor neuropathy which is progressive in nature and follows a "glove and stocking pattern". DPN is found to be more associated with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) (90-95%) compared to Type 1 DM. Interaction of metabolic and vascular factors are responsible for peripheral neuropathy. Physiotherapy has been an option for the management of  DPN. There is plenty of literature available in treating DPN using various physiotherapeutic approach but there is scarcity of literature stating the effects of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) for the management of DPN. NMT has emerged as an effective approach to treat musculoskeletal and neurological conditions but this concept has never been explored to treat balance, proprioception, pain and nerve conduction parameters in patients with DPN, thereby, making it the real need of time to explore.
