One of the most common and debilitating complications of diabetes is peripheral neuropathy. Physical modalities such as whole-body vibration are used to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), but there are limted studies on the effectiveness of local vibration for the treatment of PDN. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of local vibration in treating a patient with DPN.
