Diabetic Nephropathies
Conditions
Brief summary
Diabetic poly neuropathy (DPN) is a length-dependent, symmetrical sensorimotor poly neuropathy and is among the most prevalent and challenging consequences of diabetes4. The documented prevalence of DPN varies between 13% and 55%, with 25% to 50% of these individuals experiencing neuropathic pain5. This study was conducted to find out the impact of high-intensity laser versus moderate-intensity aerobic exercises on diabetic poly neuropathy patients.
Interventions
RADIATIONHigh-intensity laser (HIL)
The wavelength measured 1064 nm, accompanied by a power output of 5.00 W. The frequency employed was 25 Hz
PROCEDUREmoderate-intensity aerobic exercise
walking on a treadmill at a speed of 3-4 miles per hour on a flat surface (0% incline) for 40 minutes, 3 times weekly over eight weeks
