Not effective: From what i can see in the medical literature, double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trials have found anodyne therapy to be ineffective in treating diabetic neuropathy.

Anodyne therapy: The anodyne therapy uses near-infrared light to release nitric oxide, a vasodilator, from red blood cells. It is designed to increase circulation and reduce pain. There is no clear evidence that it is effective for diabetic neuropathy.
