Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effectiveness of High tone and deluxin on diabetic neuropathy
Design
Clinical trial with two intervention groups, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 30 patients. Excel software rand function was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
The present clinical trial was performed on patients with diabetic neuropathy in the neurology ward of Ahvaz Hospital. Block randomization methods were used. The size of the block was four and in each block 2 people in group A and 2 people in group B were assigned.
