The Clinical Observation Of DPN That Treated By The Way Of Warming Yang Eliminating Dampness And Dredging Meridian

Background:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy(Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, DPN)is one of the most common complications of the diabetes.There is about 80 percent of the diabetics may have it.It can lead to the lower limb paralysis, pain,weakness,gangrene and even amputation.DPN is the main reason for the disability of the diabetics.There is no effective drug for it till now.However, the prevention and treatment with Chinese medicine has an obvious advantage on it.In recent years the treatment of DPN with Chinese medicine has caused widespread concern in the academic community of the diabetes.Objective:Systematically observing the method of warming yang,eliminating dampness and dredging the meridians to the improvement of the symptoms and EMG of the diabetics,in order to prove its validity and safety.Methods:In accordance with the prospective,stochastic and control principles,I chose 80 patients with DPN and divided them into experimental and control groups of 40 cases each.Besides the diabetic basal treatment, the experimental group was given the decoction of warming yang,eliminating dampness and dredging meridian while the control group was given the oral Methycobal.Four weeks is considered as one period of treatment.In addition, I compared and made statistical analyze with the symptoms and EMG of the two groups before and after the treatment.Results:There is statistical difference between the experimental group and control group(P＜0.05).However,the data of the experimental one is higher than the control one.After the treatment,the comparison of the symptoms' improvement rate shows that the experimental group is obvious higher than the control group in the following aspect:limb paralysis,physically hot or cold, fatigue,perspiration,aversive to cold and lumbar debility.There is marked difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The EMG of the two groups also has changed after comparing with it before the treatment(P＜0.05).It is proved that both two treatments can improve the SNCV of the tibial nerve and peroneal nerve.In addition,it can also shorten the LAT.However,the experimental group has the better effect than the control group.Conclusion:The experimental group has the better effect than the control group.It can obviously reduce symptoms,meliorate laboratory indicators and improve the lives of patients.It is also proved that the method of the warming yang,eliminating dampness and dredging the meridians has a benign effect to the patients of DPN and it is worthy of further research and development.
