Effect of Sensory-Motor Integration Training on Balance and Pain in Postmenopausal Women with Polyneuropathy

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying the combined effect of sensory-motor integration on individuals with postmenopausal polyneuropathy, a condition affecting nerve function and balance. The study aims to improve balance and reduce pain in women who have peripheral neuropathy after menopause, especially those with Type II Diabetes Mellitus and numbness in their limbs lasting more than four months. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive sensory motor integration therapy, which includes tactile, thermal, and proprioceptive stimulation along with strengthening exercises and pelvic rocking training for six weeks. The other group will receive conventional exercises, involving free and gymnasium exercises for the upper and lower limbs plus 20 minutes of walking. During the six-week study, participants will be assessed for pain intensity and balance. Researchers will monitor changes in these measures to understand the effects of the different exercise programs. The study is sponsored by New Ismailia National University and includes women aged 45 to 55 years. Participants progress and safety will be monitored throughout the trial period.
