tSCS and AR on Pain and Balance in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetic Neuropathies

In brief

tSCS and AR-based training have individually shown benefits in neuromotor rehabilitation; no study to date has evaluated their combined effects on pain, balance, lower-limb strength, retention, and vibration sense in diabetic neuropathy. The rationale for combining them lies in their complementary mechanisms: tSCS at 30 Hz activates large-diameter Aβ afferents, inhibiting nociceptive input, enhancing spinal excitability, and facilitating motor activation.
