Clinical Trial Summary

This study determines the effects of moderate physical activity on early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in type-II diabetes. Most of the literature shows the impact of physical activity to manage/controlling diabetes. Some studies were conducted on animals to study the impact of physical activity on diabetic neuropathy and neurogenesis. There is no study on the impact of physical activity to manage early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in patients with type-II diabetes in humans. This study finds the impact of moderate physical activity to manage early symptoms of peripheral diabetic neuropathy in patients with type-II diabetes in humans.

Intervention

Other:
• Moderate Physical Activity for Peripheral Diabetic Neuropathy
Moderate physical activity can increase movement and heart rate are particularly important for people suffering with peripheral neuropathy. Physical activity can improve blood circulation, which strengthens nerve tissues by increasing the flow of oxygen.
