Summary

Peripheral neuropathy increases the prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers following a decrease in foot sensation. Therefore, the treatment of this disorder is very important.

Detailed description

The current study aimed to investigate the efficacy of TECAR therapy on lower limb perfusion index (PI) and to evaluate the efficacy of TECAR therapy in improving the peripheral vascularity, reducing foot pain, and improving the tactile sensation of the soles in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) patients. twenty three diabetic neuropathy patients were included in the study and underwent 12 sessions of Capacitive TECAR therapy over one month. Pain, tactile sensation of the sole and PI were evaluated at the start and after each session till the end of the study.

Conditions

• Diabetic Neuropathy, Painful

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Capacitive-Resistive Noninvasive Radiofrequency	The two passive plates were under the back of the patient. The active capacitive plates of the machine (CAPENGERY, C200, Spain) will be applied initially for 20 minutes over the sole of both feet, with the machine adjusted on the A-thermal mode (37 oC). During the remaining 20 minutes, active capacitive plates are relocated over femoral vessels at the femoral triangle with the machine adjusted on the frank thermal mode (41 oC).
