Background and purpose: Nerve growth factor (NGF) concentrations and balance are reduced in diabetic neuropathy (DN) patients. We examined the effects of hydrotherapy and massage on NGF, balance and glycemic markers in middle aged DN patients. Materials and methods Patients were randomly assigned into four groups, aquatic exercise (AE; n= 10), AE+ massage (AM; n= 10), massage (M; n= 10) or control (C; n= 9).
