Effects of Turning Based Dual Task Training on Balance and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
This trial is testing a specialized 'turning-based' physical therapy routine against standard dual-task training in people who have diabetic nerve damage. The goal is to see which approach better improves balance, reduces fall risk, and supports cognitive function. It is a Phase NA study, meaning it is a straightforward head-to-head comparison of two exercise approaches rather than a drug trial. Details beyond the basics are limited so far.
