Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), affecting as many as 50% of patients with type 1 and type 2 DM. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy involves the presence of symptoms or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in people with diabetes after the exclusion of other causes. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of ice massage on neuropathic pain among patients with diabetic neuropathy admitted to a selected hospital in Tiruvannamalai. Non- equivalent control group pre and post-test design which comes under quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. The diabetic neuropathy patients were selected based on convenience sampling technique. The level of diabetic neuropathic pain was assessed using the modified Galer neuropathic pain scale for the experimental and control group. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that there was a significant reduction in the level of neuropathic pain in the experimental group at (P= 0.001). The unpaired 't' value (t = 3.99, P = 0.001) showed that there was a significant difference in the mean post-test pain scores in the experimental and control group. The study findings suggested that the ice massage application administered to the patients in the experimental group had a significant decrease in their post test level of peripheral neuropathic pain than the control group.
