Abstract: The article discusses the effectiveness of balneotherapy (BT) as a complementary intervention for pain and functional issues in patients with diabetic neuropathy (DNP). It references a study that utilized various assessment scales to evaluate the impact of BT on DNP symptoms and highlights the complexity of understanding BT's effects due to the multifaceted nature of diabetic complications. The authors express that while BT may have positive health effects, including regulation of cortisol levels, there remains ongoing debate and lack of consensus among researchers regarding its overall usefulness for DNP. The letter emphasizes the need for further investigation into the mechanisms behind BT's potential benefits. [Extracted from the article]
