Sixteen research participants who suffer with painful diabetic neuropathy are needed for pain relief research by a physiotherapy honours student at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange. Ms Gabrielle Upton said her research in the CSU School of Community Health will be conducted over 27 days in January and February 2015 with the aim to compare the pain relief effects of two different types of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for people with painful diabetic neuropathy. "The participants will have the opportunity to use a pain relief machine (TENS) for a total of 20 days with no cost to them," Ms Upton said. "Subject will be required to attend four appointments at Charles Sturt University in Orange for about 30 minutes each time. During this time it is expected that the subjects' level of pain will reduce. TENS is a safe treatment with minimal risk of adverse effects and can be used for many different types of pain. This is important research and I appreciate any assistance volunteers can provide." Ms Upton's research has CSU Ethics Committee approval and is being closely supervised by three highly qualified and experienced CSU academics.
