Diabetic Neuropathy, Painful Clinical Trial
Official title:
Gaziantep University's Clinical Research Ethics Committee
Introduction: Pain relief in diabetic neuropathy is one of the main goals of treatment. Foot reflexology and foot bath, which are two of the important applications of holistic approaches, reduce pain and can significantly increase the quality of life. Objective: In the current study, it was aimed to examine the effects of foot reflexology and foot bath applied to diabetic individuals with neuropathic pain on pain and quality of life. Method: In this randomized controlled study, the sample was randomized into three groups: (I) Foot reflexology (n: 30), (II) Foot bath (n: 30), and (III) Control (n: 30). The "Patient Information Form", "DN4 Pain Questionnaire", "Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality-of-Life questionnaire (NePIQoL)", and "Visual Analog Scale (VAS)" were used to collect research data. In the study, a protective sensory examination was also performed with the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament (SWM) Test and the Vibration Test (128 Hz diapason). Apart from these, foot care training was given to all patients included in the practice groups as the role of the diabetes nurse, based on the diabetic foot care training prepared by the Turkish Diabetes Association.
(I) Foot reflexology group Individuals in the foot reflexology group were treated by the researcher once a week for a total of 60 minutes, 30 minutes on each foot, for 6 weeks. (II) Foot bath group In the first meeting, each patient in the foot bath group was informed about the way of doing a footbath in practice. Each patient in the foot bath group was asked to apply a foot bath for 10 minutes, 3 times a week, and twice a day for 6 weeks. A plastic foot bath tub (42 x 37 x 12 cm) without a massage function is provided for each of the patients (Figure 2D). In order not to miss the applications, the patient was followed up by phone on the specified days (3 times a week, Monday-Wednesday-Friday). The patient was told that the foot bath water should be at 40 degrees celsius and that his feet should be kept in water for 10 minutes, approximately 10 cm above the ankle 25. The patient came to the clinic for the forms and protective sensory examination in the 2nd, 4th, and last week. Control group Forms and protective sensory examination tests were applied to the patients in the control group, as in the intervention groups, and no application was made other than standard nursing care. ;
