Abstract
|
|
|
|
Diabetic neuropathy may affect every part of the nervous system with the possible exception of the brain. While it is rarely a direct cause of death, it is a major cause of morbidity. Distinct syndromes can be recognized, and several different types of neuropathy may be present in the same patient. The most common picture is that of peripheral polyneuropathy. Usually bilateral, the symptoms include numbness, paresthesias, severe hyperesthesias and pain. The pain, which may be deep-seated and severe, is often worse at night. In this case, chief complaints were numbness and paresthesia of lower extremities and the symptoms were improved through Oriental medical treatment.
