About this trial
It's estimated that 50% of diabetic patients will have peripheral neuropathy as a complication within 3 years of the diabetes incidence \[14\], the goal of the study is to investigate this problem through the following objectives:
1. To measure the effect of using FREMS therapy in diabetic neuropathy in interventional group on the blood perfusion, neuropathy severity and quality of life after 10 sessions compared to baseline. 2. To measure the effect of using standard of care in diabetic neuropathy in control group on the blood perfusion, neuropathy severity and quality of life after 10 sessions compared to baseline. 3. To compare the results between both interventional and control group.
