About

Diabetic poly neuropathy (DPN) is a length-dependent, symmetrical sensorimotor poly neuropathy and is among the most prevalent and challenging consequences of diabetes4.

The documented prevalence of DPN varies between 13% and 55%, with 25% to 50% of these individuals experiencing neuropathic pain5. This study was conducted to find out the impact of high-intensity laser versus moderate-intensity aerobic exercises on diabetic poly neuropathy patients.
