Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine the effects of Pain Neuroscience Education in Diabetic Neuropathy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pain neuroscience education (PNE) has shown to have immediate effects on various clinical signs and symptoms associated with central sensitization. Using a model of (innocuous, noxious and allodynia) PNE can be used in combination with exercise therapy, especially treating patients in which the nervous system has become increasingly hypervigilant. Teaching patients about the neuroscience of pain and lead to healthier and more positive attitudes and beliefs regarding chronic pain. Pain in diabetic neuropathy restrict the activity participation and compromise their quality of life. PNE will be helpful in such patients so decreasing pain can improve their quality of life.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Conventional Physical therapy

Control group will be treated by TENS, stretching and strengthening exercises.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Control group will be treated by Conventional Physical therapy like TENS, stretching and strengthening exercises. Intervention will be initiated with warm up period (joint mobility exercises) for the duration of 5 mins and ended up with cool down period (relaxing exercises i.e. deep breathing) for the duration of 5 mins.

Pain Neuroscience Education

Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) sessions. Additionally, treated with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Stretching and Strengthening exercises similar as in control group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Pain Neuroscience Education

Intervention Type OTHER

In first part educational content will be designed to be given in group of patients in six sessions by PNE booklet. The six sessions are 1.5 hours long (9 hours) and will be given at a frequency of 1 session per week. Final session will be given to solve doubts, and to provide additional information to the educational program. Book for additional material will be delivered to participants.
