Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. There are two groups of diabetes, type I diabetes and type II diabetes. Individuals suffering from diabetes mellitus tend to show signs and symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a condition which damages the nerve as a result of micro-vascular injury involving small vessels supplying the nerves due to uncontrolled blood sugar. In diabetic neuropathy, sensory abnormality is predominant and it affects the distal portion of the longest nerves first. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A convenient sampling of 28 diabetic neuropathy patients including 15 females and 13 males were taken from Pravara rural hospital. Out of the 30 participants, during the study duration, only 28 participants received the therapy. The participants were assessed for superficial peroneal nerve function using Sensory Nerve Conduction Velocity studies. Later they were given contrast bath therapy for 20 minutes 3 times/week for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks post assessment was done. RESULT: Contrast bath therapy showed highly significant improvement in the nerve function in participants after giving the protocol for 4 weeks (‘t’=13.03, p=0.001). CONCLUSION: The conclusion based on the results of difference in pre-post mean values of latency in sensory nerve conduction studies shows that there is a significant improvement in the superficial peroneal nerve function in Diabetic Neuropathy patients. KEYWORDS: Diabetic neuropathy, Contrast bath therapy, Nerve conduction studies, superficial peroneal nerve.
