The dynamics of allodynia in the treatment of patients with diabetic polyneuropathy using transcutaneous electroneurostimulation

BACKGROUND: Allodynia, hyperalgesia, and positive sensory symptoms are the main of neuropathic pain. Studying these their dynamics in treatment pain broadens our understanding how it can be treated.
 AIMS: To study effect different TENS modalities on allodynia patients with severe syndrome developed against background diabetic distal polyneuropathy lower extremities.
 MATERIAL AND METHODS: 75 extremities (DPLE) were treated pharmacotherapy (n=26), high-frequency (n=25), low-frequency (n=24).
 RESULTS: Immediately after treatment, we observed a more pronounced decrease application (by 72.2%) 61.1%). Moreover, control group, regression averaged 28.6%. At 2nd month long-term period, severity continued to rapidly (26.7%) than (19%) remained without significant pharmacotherapy.
 CONCLUSION: The use 1.3 times enhances therapeutic DPLE. High-frequency is effective by 18.2% immediately 40% at end period. By 6th results both groups did not differ significantly.
