Effectiveness of neuromuscular taping on balance, proprioception, pain, and nerve conduction parameters in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy: a two-group pretest-posttest randomized sham-controlled trial study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The management of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) comprises a multidimensional approach. Along with pharmacological treatment, physiotherapy has gained applaudable popularity in improving the symptoms of DPN. Neuromuscular taping (NMT) is effective in improving motor, sensory, and balance impairments in many neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions but no research has conducted to evaluate the effect of NMT on balance, proprioception, pain, and nerve conduction parameters in patients with DPN.

Purpose

To evaluate the effectiveness of NMT on balance, proprioception, pain, and nerve conduction parameters in patients with DPN.

Methods

50 DPN patients aged 40-60 years, scored ≥ 2/13 on physical appearance and ≥ 1/10 on physical examination of Michigan
