Comparison of High Tone Power Therapy and TENS for Treating Diabetic Polyneuropathic Pain in Men Aged 50 to 60 Years

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating two non-drug therapies for pain caused by diabetic polyneuropathy in men aged 50 to 60 years. This study aims to find an easy and noninvasive treatment that may improve symptoms and social participation for patients with diabetic nerve pain. The results could help physiotherapists develop new approaches to managing diabetic polyneuropathy and increase knowledge about High Tone Power Therapys effect on neuropathic pain. Sixty male patients with type 2 diabetes and polyneuropathy will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group A will receive High Tone Power Therapy, which uses frequencies scanned continuously from 4096 Hz to 31768 Hz, delivering up to 5000 mW of power, three times per week for 30 minutes each session over three months. Group B will receive Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation TENS with frequencies ranging from 2 to 120 Hz, also three times per week for 30 minutes per session during the same three-month period. Participants will be assessed before and after treatment using tools measuring neuropathic pain DN4 questionnaire, pain pressure threshold, glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1c, and life disability. All patients must be ambulant and under full medical control with diabetes lasting more than 10 years. The study includes continuous monitoring for up to 12 weeks and aims to guide future clinical roles for therapists in diabetic neuropathy management.
