Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Clinical Trial

Official title: High Tone External Muscle Stimulation On Endothelial Dysfunction And Walking Parameters In Peripheral Arterial Disease

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

to investigate the effect of high tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS) on endothelial dysfunction and walking parameters in peripheral vascular disease.

Clinical Trial Description

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups in number:

1. Group A :

Thirty patients will participate in physical therapy program in form of high-tone external muscle stimulation (HTEMS), with Frequencies continuously will be scanned from 4096 Hz to 31768 Hz, allowing for a much higher power of up to 5000 mW to be introduced 3 times per week, for 10 weeks plus supervised regular aerobic exercise program on stationary bicycle with moderate intensity, ( score 12-14 on Borg scale for rate of perceived exertion) 40 minutes per session, 3 times per week, for 10 weeks .

2. Group B:

Thirty patients will participate in a supervised regular aerobic exercise program only on stationary bicycle with moderate intensity, (score 12-14 on Borg scale for rate of perceived exertion) 40 minutes per session, 3 times per week, for 10 weeks. ;
