Mechanisms and Management of Diabetic Painful Distal Symmetrical Polyneuropathy
Although a number of the diabetic neuropathies may result in painful symptomatology, this review focuses on the most common: chronic sensorimotor distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSPN). It is estimated that 15-20% of diabetic patients may have painful DSPN, but not all of these will require therapy. In practice, the diagnosis of DSPN is a clinical one, whereas for longitudinal studies and cli...
متن کاملA novel association between nondipping and painful diabetic polyneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE We hypothesized the meaningful coexistence of neuropathic pain and nondipping in painful diabetic polyneuropathy (PDPN). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In 113 patients with PDPN, with painless diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN(+)) and without DPN (DPN(-)), neuropathic pain, sleep, risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), autonomic function, and blood pressure (BP) circadian pattern were asse...
متن کاملUltrasound findings after surgical decompression of the tarsal tunnel in patients with painful diabetic polyneuropathy: a prospective randomized study.
OBJECTIVE It has been hypothesized that the development of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is due to swelling of the nerve, as well as thickening and stiffening of the surrounding ligaments, causing chronic compression of nerves. We aimed to examine the effect of surgical decompression of the tibial nerve on the mean cross-sectional area (CSA). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a randomi...
متن کاملSural nerve sorbitol in patients with diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy.
OBJECTIVE Nerve sorbitol levels have been measured in sural nerve biopsy samples from patients with diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy in several studies using different methods and measurement units. In this study, we compared the results of sorbitol assays to determine the required sensitivity of analytical methods for nerve sorbitol measurements. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed ...
متن کامل"Painful legs and moving toes" associated with polyneuropathy.
Three patients showing clinical and electrophysiological evidence of peripheral neuropathy also suffered from the syndrome of "painful legs and moving toes". Polygraphic recordings during wakefulness and sleep were consistent with the hypothesis that pathological afferent discharges arising peripherally may induce, via the spinal cord, motor excitation and pain. A severe disruption of the patte...
