About this trial

Existing evidence of tSCS emphasizes pain relief and overlooks other functional parameters such as sensory enhancement, lower limb flexibility, and sustained improvements in physical activity and QoL.

Combined effects of tSCS and AR training on lower limb flexibility, vibration sense, QoL, and physical activity in patients with diabetic neuropathy. This dual approach has the potential to deliver a comprehensive strategy for managing DPN, which is low-cost, safe, and a more accessible solution for diabetic patients in Pakistan and around the world.
