Efficacy of Customized Insoles for Diabetic Foot Pressure
Study Overview
This study looked at how customized insoles affect foot pressure in patients with diabetic neuropathy. It compared results from patients using the insoles to those using a placebo over three and six months.
Key Findings
- Background: Diabetic neuropathy can be detected early in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Purpose: To see if customized insoles improve foot pressure distribution compared to a control group.
- Methods: The study involved 46 volunteers, randomly assigned to either the insoles group or the control group. It followed strict clinical trial standards.
- Results: No significant differences were found in foot pressure or daily activities between the two groups after three and six months.
- Conclusion: Customized insoles did not show a significant improvement in foot structure for patients with diabetic neuropathy.
