Pain Relief and Health-Related Quality-of-Life Improvement After Microsurgical Decompression of Entrapped Peripheral Nerves in Patients With Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

摘要: Surgery had been shown to be effective for superimposed peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome in patients with diabetic neuropathy (DPN), pain relief and sensation restored. Few studies, however, have reported the quality-of-life outcomes of surgery treatment painful DPN (PDPN). The objective present study was evaluate effects microsurgical decompression multiple entrapped nerves on health-related quality life refractory PDPN lower limbs. Eleven intractable limbs were recruited study. All underwent common peroneal nerve, deep posterior tibial nerve. intensity assessed using visual analog scale measured short-form 36-item survey. Six (54.6%) experienced >50% (both daytime nocturnal pain) at 2 weeks after procedure 8 (72.7%) 24 months postoperatively. Two (18.2%) a decrease peak months. Additionally, scores from survey significantly improved following domains: bodily general health procedure. Also, postoperatively, 6 domains improved, including physical function, pain, health, social role emotional, mental health. No significant side recorded during Microsurgical is an safe therapy compression.
