Summary

Sensorimotor diabetic polyneuropathy is a common and serious complication of longstanding diabetes mellitus. The therapeutic options are limited (pain therapy, antidepressants, physical measures using direct current such as two- / four-cell baths). In the present study, for the first time, after positive data from a pilot study, it is to be checked whether the effectiveness of an existing therapy can be extended by treatment with heated granulate stones in the rehabilitation setting.
