Effects of acupressure and foot exercises on blood circulation in people with Type 2 diabetes

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study examines how acupressure and ankle exercises can influence the ankle-brachial index (ABI) in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Utilizing a randomized controlled experimental design, participants will be divided into groups receiving either acupressure, sham acupressure, or foot ankle exercises. The ABI is a non-invasive measure that helps assess blood flow and detect potential circulatory issues in diabetic patients. The goal is to determine if these interventions can improve peripheral circulation and ABI values, potentially reducing complications associated with diabetes.
