Abstract

The unsatisfactory results associated with conventional treatments for symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) demonstrate a need for research into alternative therapies. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of whole body vibration therapy (WBV) as a treatment for pain associated with DPN. Participants (n = 8) with painful DPN received three treatment sessions per week for four weeks. Each session consisted of four bouts of 3 min of vibration (frequency 25 Hz, amplitude 5 mm). The primary outcome measures were changes in the visual analog pain scale (VAS) and changes in the neuropathic pain scale (NPS). WBV demonstrated a significant (p < 0.05) acute pain reduction in the VAS, and a significant chronic reduction in both the VAS and NPS scales. No side-effects were observed during this study. WBV appears to be an effective, non-invasive treatment for pain associated with DPN.

摘要

与糖尿病性周围神经病变（DPN）症状的常规治疗相关的不令人满意的结果表明，需要研究替代疗法。这项研究的目的是确定全身振动疗法（WBV）作为治疗与DPN相关的疼痛的疗效。患有疼痛性DPN的参与者（n=8）每周接受三次治疗，持续四周。每个疗程包括4次3分钟的振动(频率25赫兹，振幅5毫米)。主要结果指标是视觉模拟疼痛量表（VAS）的变化和神经性疼痛量表（NPS）的变化。WBV在VAS中显示出显着（p<0.05）的急性疼痛减轻，VAS和NPS量表均显著慢性降低。在这项研究中没有观察到副作用。WBV似乎是有效的，DPN相关疼痛的非侵入性治疗。
