This study aims: * To compare conventional diabetic neuropathy screening techniques with user-friendly technological equipment; * To evaluate the effects of the combined application of laser and therapeutic ultrasound in the treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) in its early stages, aiming to prevent severe complications, such as the development of diabetic foot. Two groups were formed: Treatment group and placebo group. 24 sessions were performed (twice a week, on alternate days). It is concluded that the combined treatment with laser and therapeutic ultrasound for diabetic peripheral neuropathy promotes a significant reduction in symptoms and improvement in sensitivity in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
