Taking part
This page explains the FREMS-PDPN Study for people who might be interested in joining
General information
We are inviting 356 adults with PDPN to take part in this study.
The FREMS-PDPN Study is looking at whether a nerve stimulation device can reduce pain from the nerve damage caused by diabetes.
You will receive a treatment chosen by chance. The treatments are FREMS (Frequency Rhythmic Electrical Modulated System) or TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation).
Both FREMS and TENS give electrical pulses delivered through stickers on the skin. The nature of these pulses is different between FREMS and TENS, resulting in different biological effects on pain and different responses (short term pain reductions for TENS, usually days, and 3-4 months for FREMS).
