Distal symmetric polyneuropathy, also known as diabetic neuropathy, is a condition where the longest nerve fibers in the body lose function, often due to diabetes. This can cause loss of feeling, foot ulcers, and pain, affecting the quality of life. The study will test special therapeutic socks that use heat from the body to improve blood flow and reduce pain over 12 weeks. The socks release infrared waves and negative ions, which may help manage symptoms by increasing blood speed and reducing inflammation.
- Duration: The study lasts 12 weeks.
- Visits: Participants will have regular check-ups.
- Eligibility: Must be 18-79 years old and have mild to moderate diabetic neuropathy.
Participants should not have other severe health conditions or be using tobacco. The study aims to find out if these socks can improve life for people with diabetic neuropathy. If you qualify and decide to join, you will need to follow the study rules and attend scheduled visits. Your feedback on the socks' effects will be very important to the research.
