Many patients are limited in their physical activity by pain. The study conducted to assess the effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) application for reduction of pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Aim of study: The main objective of this study is to compare the effectof TENS on Diabetic Neuropathy patients in reduction of pain and improving single limb stance.&#13;
&#13;
Materials and Methodology: Study Design: An experimental comparative study. Sample Selection: A sample of 30 patients diagnosed as diabetic neuropathy were taken from after giving due consideration to inclusion and exclusion criteria.&#13;
&#13;
Sample size: Total 30 including Control Group (Group A): The patients in this group were given therapeutic exercise training only and Experimental Group (Group B): The patients in this group were given treatment with TENS application and therapeutic exercise training. Inclusive Criteria: Patients of diabetic neuropathy affecting unilateral lower limb defined as ? 50% loss of strength and sensation of foot relative to non-affected side and complain of pain duration ? 5 months. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with age group between the 50-60 years and Patients with other pathological conditions of foot i.e. gout, spondylolysthesis, gangrene and spinal disease. Outcome measures: Visual analogue scale and Single limb stance. Results: The subject__ampersandsignlsquo;s parameters calculated by using Paired t test for within group comparison and unpaired t test used for between group comparisons. The mean and standard deviation of the measurement were also calculated. The training induced changes were significantly greater in the experimental group than the control group in Visual analogue scale and Single limb stance. Conclusion: It concluded that the treatment with TENS has good effect on Diabetic Neuropathy patients in reduction of pain and improving single limb stance.&#13;
