Objective: To investigate the effect of the application of rehabilitation exercise combined with foot fumigation massage in community patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Methods: From September to December 2023, 50 patients with diabetes mellitus combined with peripheral neuropathy under the management of our community health were selected and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group on a 1:1 basis. The control group (n=25) was followed up routinely, and the observation group (n=25) was followed up with rehabilitation exercise combined with foot fumigation and massage interventions, comparing the changes in Michigan neuropathy screening scores, psychological status, and blood glucose levels before and after the follow-up period of the two groups. Results: Before the follow-up visit, the difference between the two groups in terms of changes in Michigan neuropathy screening scores, psychological conditions, and blood glucose levels was not statistically significant (P>0.05). After the follow-up, the difference between the two groups in terms of changes in Michigan neuropathy screening scores, psychological status, and blood glucose levels was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the improvement in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. Conclusion: The application of rehabilitation exercise combined with foot fumigation massage in community DPN patients has significant effect, which can improve the mood, facilitate the control of blood glucose level, delay the disease progression, and stabilize the physical and mental conditions of patients, and is worth promoting the application.
