Abstract
Objective
To study the clinical effect of acupuncture combined with methylcobalamin in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Methods
Seventy-five diabetic patients complicated with peripheral neuropathies were included and randomly allocated into a treatment group (40 cases) and a control group (35 cases). The patients in the treatment group all received acupuncture therapy plus methylcobalamin. In the control group, patients only received methylcobalamin for treatment. The therapeutic effect was evaluated 4 weeks later.
Results
Both of the two groups presented improvement in nervous symptoms, signs and nerve conduction, and the improvement of the treatment group was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion
The therapy of acupuncture in combination with methylcobalamin is more effective than the monotherapy with methylcobalamin in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
