Abstract
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a complication of long term diabetes and is characterized by diminished sensation and or pain in the lower extremities. It poses a significant risk factor for ulcer and non traumatic amputation. The present study has been undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of two different modalities of treatment in reducing neuropathic symptoms and pain in the lower limbs among patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. The findings of the study revealed that the mean posttest neuropathic symptom score of combination therapy group (25.61) was lesser than the mean posttest neuropathic symptom scores of pharmacological intervention group (64.98).(t(96)=46.5,p<0.001. The mean posttest lower limb pain score of combination therapy group (3.08) was lesser than the mean posttest lower limb pain score of pharmacological intervention group(4.27).(t(96)=11.91,p<0.001. The study concluded that combination therapy is more effective in reducing neuropathic symptoms and pain in the lower limb than pharmacological intervention alone.
