The effect of Trans Cranial direct current stimulation on diabetic polyneuropathy: A systematic review study

: Diabetic polyneuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, involves nerve damage leading to impaired sensory and motor functions. Managing chronic pain is a significant challenge in clinical practice. Current pain management approaches include conservative treatments like physical therapy and pain medications, but these are often associated with side effects, addiction risks, and limited long-term efficacy. Noninvasive neuromodulation techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have gained attention as potential alternatives or adjuncts to traditional pain management strategies. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that delivers low electrical currents to the brain, showing potential in addressing various neurological disorders. In the context of diabetic polyneuropathy, understanding the interplay between diabetic polyneuropathy and tDCS is vital for exploring innovative approaches to managing this complex condition and improving patients’ lives. Objective: This systematic review aims to synthesize existing researches to provide comprehensive insights into tDCS’s potential in alleviating the diverse manifestations of diabetic polyneuropathy providing insights into its potential as a novel therapeutic approach.
