The Effects of the Magnetic Molecular Energizer (MME) on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Status unconfirmed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Diabetic Neuropathies, Pain, Neuralgia

In brief

This study is intended to demonstrate that exposure to a high intensity, DC electromagnetic field, as supplied by the investigational device known as the Molecular Magnetic Energizer (MME), will create a clinically meaningful improvement in pain and nerve dysfunction in the feet of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
