โœฆ Synopsis

The scope of the present review is to describe epidemiology, classification, symptomatology and treatment of diabetic peripheral somatic neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. Special attention is paid to the use of local anaesthetic agents in painful diabetic neuropathy. Denervation hypersensitivity is a characteristic of autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients. The pathophysiology behind this phenomenon is elucidated in this review and most recent studies related to diabetic encephalopathy are reviewed. References for this review were acquired via a MedLine and MedLars literature search.
