Case Report: Noninvasive Treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most debilitating outcomes of diabetes mellitus (DM) and may cause pain, decreased activity and even amputation. The prognosis of diabetic neuropathy is a difficult task, as it remains silent for several years after the onset of diabetes.
Diabetes is the leading cause of peripheral neuropathy in the United States. It is estimated that 60-100 percent of the diabetic population has some form of neuropathy, ranging from barely detectable asymptomatic neuropathy to severe, disabling, painful disease to dense anesthesia.
