Biofeedback Rehabilitation
Computerized Biofeedback for Diabetic Hand Neuropathy: RCT
Grade B-Randomized controlled trial2019
What did this study find?
Thirty-eight patients with diabetic hand neuropathy were randomized to task-based computerized biofeedback rehabilitation or a home exercise program. Sensorimotor and dexterity outcomes improved more with biofeedback. The result supports that specific rehabilitation protocol; it does not support biofeedback as a general treatment for neuropathy.

A positive PEMF study is not evidence for a specific device unless the signal parameters studied, frequency, intensity, waveform, and exposure duration, are reasonably comparable to what that device produces. Where this record does not list those parameters, the source report did not publish them. See the grading methodology. Library last reviewed 2026-08-27.
