[0002] Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease. Long-term hyperglycemia can lead to a variety of complications, among which peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common and most influential complications. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) usually manifests as symptoms such as numbness, pain, tingling, burning sensation and muscle weakness in the lower limbs. In severe cases, it can lead to motor dysfunction and a significant decrease in the patient's quality of life. According to statistics, about 60%-70% of diabetic patients will experience varying degrees of peripheral neuropathy. The foot is the most commonly affected part of diabetic patients. Due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage, the feet of diabetic patients are more prone to ulcers, infections and trauma, and may even lead to amputation. For this reason, foot care and appropriate adjustment treatment are crucial for patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Although existing clinical treatments include drug therapy, physical therapy, neuromodulation therapy, etc., these methods are mostly single treatments, and the efficacy and patient compliance vary greatly.
