Brief Summary

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

Neurodynamics, i.e., the mobilization of the peripheral nervous system, is a physical approach to the treatment of pain; the method relies on influencing pain physiology via mechanical treatment of neural tissues and the non-neural structures surrounding the nervous system. Neural mobilization (NM) is used to treat various disorders of the nervous system concerning the length and mobility of peripheral nerves, as the nerve mobilizing refers to techniques that help to reestablish motion between a nerve and its surrounding soft tissues, thus to treat the nerves that have become entangled within the soft tissue, as it leads to tension release on a nerve by stretching and pulling one end of the nerve during keeping the other end in a relaxed state.

Detailed Description

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

The neurodynamic technique both sliders and tensioners results in changes of the mechanical or physiological function of nerve tissues along with the interface; restoring pressure gradients, relieving hypoxia and pain resulting in reducing associated symptoms.

Through clinical reasoning the nervous system seems to be the logical place for treatment and explanations and previous descriptions of this method have clarified the overall impact on quality of life in diabetic peripheral neuropathy but it doesn't discuss which technique of neural mobilization is more effective and its effects on diabetic peripheral neuropathic population. Within this reasoning it is important to determine which neurodynamic technique is more effective in improving quality of life and reduce pain in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
