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. The order of groups A and B within each block was determined randomly using function (RAND) in Excel software. The patients, the intervener, and the person reviewing the results did not know what group the individuals were in, and the study would be conducted in a two-way blind. Group A included patients who were treated with High tone for 30 minutes every 6 weeks and every other day. Group B patients received a daily dose of 60 mg deloxetine for 6 weeks
