Effective treatment of symptomatic diabetic polyneuropathy by high-frequency external muscle stimulation
AbstractAims/hypothesis: Diabetic distal symmetrical sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) affects 20–30% of diabetic patients. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and electrical spinal cord stimulation have been proposed as physical therapies. We performed a controlled, randomised pilot trial to compare the effects of high-frequency external muscle stimulation (HF) with those of TENS in patients with symptomatic DSP.Methods: Patients […]
