Official Title: The Therapeutic Effect of Low-intensity Focused Ultrasound on Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Brief Summary:
Diabetic painful peripheral neuropathy (DPN) constitutes a serious threat to the outcomes of patients with diabetes.Yet, the treatments for targeting the underlying nerve damage and relieving pain are limited.The low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) has been demonstrated to regulate neuronal activity without any concomitant tissue damage.Studies in animal models have shown that LIFU could protect nerve cells against inflammation and oxidative stress, as well as stimulate neurotrophic factor production.In…
