Aerobic exercise and sensorimotor training to improve motor control (balance, posture, etc.) can relieve some of the signs and symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.[1] Furthermore, low-frequency electrical stimulation of the spinal cord (also known as neuromodulation therapy) can reduce pain associated with diabetic neuropathies.[2][3] However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to draw conclusions about the efficacy and safety of neuromodulation therapy.
Are there any other treatments for diabetic neuropathy?

Aerobic exercise and sensorimotor training can help alleviate symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and low-frequency electrical stimulation of the spinal cord may reduce the associated pain. However, further high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to assess the efficacy and safety of neuromodulation therapy.
