Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes who have sensory-motor axonal polyneuropathy and persistent numbness in their upper and lower limbs for more than four months, without active tumors, prior hysterectomy, or current antidepressant use.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with neuropathy from other causes, current antidepressant use, active tumors, or a history of hysterectomy would be excluded or less likely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional program delivers sensory-motor integration training alongside a regimen of traditional exercises to postmenopausal women with sensory-motor axonal neuropathy, primarily related to type 2 diabetes. Participants must have numbness in the upper and lower limbs for more than four months and will be recruited at sites in Ismailia, Egypt and Amman, Jordan. The study measures outcomes such as balance, pain levels, and functional mobility, with exclusions for prior hysterectomy, active tumors, or current antidepressant use. The protocol compares the combined approach to standard exercise to determine whether adding sensory-motor integration yields greater patient benefit.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the combined program could improve balance, reduce neuropathic pain, and lower fall risk in postmenopausal women with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous trials of exercise and sensorimotor training in diabetic peripheral neuropathy have shown moderate improvements in balance and pain, but combining sensory-motor integration with traditional exercise is relatively novel.
