Effect Of Acupoint Injection Treatment On Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Objective: This paper is aimed to find an effective therapeutic method for diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) through the combined therapy of traditional Chinese and Western Medicine by observing the curative efficacy of Mecobalamin Acupoint Injection Treatment in curing this disease. Method: It collects 72 DPN patients from the Department of Endocrinology in Qinghai University Affiliated Hospital and divide them into two groups: Control Group and Treatment Group randomly. All the patients will be given the fundamental treatment such as hypotension and hypoglycemic therapy in accordance with their blood glucose, blood pressure and blood lipid. In addition to fundamental treatment, Mecobalamin Acupoint Injection Treatment will also be given to the Treatment Group. Inject the Waiguan and Yanglingquan alternatively once a day. Every six days will be a course. Take a one-day break after a course and treat them for 3 courses on end. Record the Clinical Efficacy Score; conduct electro-neurophysiology test and measure the plasma Hcy level 1 day before and after the treatment. Result: The Clinical Efficacy Score shows that the Treatment Group is better than the Control Group and that the difference has statistical significance with P<0.05. After the treatment, the patients in the Treatment Group feel that their motion speed of the peroneal motor nerve, the median sensory nerve and the sural sensory nerve have been improved and such improvements have statistical significance(P<0.05); the patients in the Control Group have got their motion speed of the median sensory nerve improved before treatment(P<0.05) while there is no significance changes in the motion speeds of the peroneal motor nerve and the sural sensory nerve(P>0.05); comparing the Treatment Group and the Control Group after treatment, it can be seen that the motion speed of the sensory nerve increases(P<0.05) while there is no important improvement in the motion nerve. HCY were significantly decreased after treatment in both groups(P<0.05);But is no statistical difference between the two groups before and after the treatment. Conclusion: Mecobalamin Acupoint Injection Treatment for DPN can improve the clinical symptoms of the patients; greatly improves the motion speed of the nerve, especially the sensory nerve and significantly reduce the plasma Hcy level. Therefore, it is an effective method to treat DPN.
