摘要: Background To determine the role of mechanical allodynia (MA) in predicting good surgical outcome for painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Materials and Methods Data 192 patients with DPN were collected this study, 148 44 control group. Both groups further divided into subgroups based on presence MA admission. Clinical evaluations including visual analog scale (VAS), Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS), nerve conduction velocity (NCV), high-resolution ultrasonography (cross-sectional area, CSA) performed preoperatively postoperatively. Results The levels VAS HADS results NCV CSA improved group ( p > 0.05). Furthermore, better pain reduction was achieved when compared those without Conclusions MA is proved to be a reliable predictor DPN.
