No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most of the literature found on whole body vibrations(WBV) instead of focal muscle vibrations (FMV) in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients. The studies found on the effects of focal vibrations could not be generalised on the huge population of diabetes mellitus (DM) induced neuropathic pain because of small sample size and due to subordinate studies i.e, pilot studies done on the focal vibrations in which 3 different modes of vibrations is used without comparing with the control group. These studies are not much valuable in literature as well as for clinical purposes due to lack of control group. As mentioned in previous studies that better results achieved with the WBV on pain in diabetic peripheral neuropathyso that the hypothesis can be made that when FMV directly applies on the focal region that may influence the pain and/or peripheral neuropathy status.

DEVICE

Focal muscle vibration

Focal muscle vibration (FMV) defined as a technique that applies a vibratory stimulus to a specific muscle or its tendon using a mechanical device. FMV generates the Ia inputs as a consequence of the activation primary ending of the muscle spindle leading to alteration of corticospinal pathways results in activation of Ia inputs by FMV. The vibration of a specific muscle can increase the motor evoked potential, enhance the changes in corticospinal excitability and produces involuntary contraction in the vibrated muscle
