Effect of novel Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MaRhyThe®) on neuropathic pain and maximum plantar pressure distribution among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral neuropathy
Background There is a need for a non-pharmacological approach to reduce pain and plantar pressure in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Matrix Rhythm Therapy (MaRhyThe®) is a therapeutic modality that works on the principle of physiologic rhythmic oscillations of the body cells. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of MaRhyThe® on neuropathic pain and maximum plantar pressure distribution among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with peripheral neuropathy. Materials and methods A total of 33 participants with DPN were recruited for the study based on inclusion criteria. Maximum plantar pressure was recorded using Win-Track 11K005, and the pain score was obtained using a visual analogue scale. Ten sessions of MaRhyThe® were given to all the participants. Outcome measures were evaluated at the baseline and after 10th session. Paired t-test was performed to analyze the changes in outcome measures. Results Participants of DPN were recruited with the average age of 64 ± 9 years, and an average duration of diabetes was 14 ± 9 years were included. Results of the present study found significant improvement in neuropathic pain and plantar pressure in post intervention assessment. (p Conclusion In the present study, we found that MaRhyThe® is effective in reducing neuropathic pain and maximum plantar pressure in type 2 diabetes mellitus with peripheral neuropathy.
