Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In order to provide a alternative treatment for relieving the pain and numbness of Diabetes Mellitus patients,Traditional Chinese Medicine powder was tested by subjective questionnaire and objective nerve conduction velocity study. Liver and kidney functions were tested to provided safety profiles.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

120 participants with diabetic neuropathy were screened in endocrine and metabolism clinics of Taichung Veterans General Hospital and Chinese Medical University Hospital . Subjects were randomly distributed into a double-blind, 12 weeks, placebo-controlled procedure. Subjects were measured by MNSI, SF-BPI, SF-36, SF -MCQ, NCV, AC sugar, HbA1c, lipid profiles, liver and kidney functions.

Safety evaluations including GPT and creatinine revealed no deterioration after treatment. Several domains in MNSI, SF-BPI, SF-36, SF -MPQ questionnaires revealed significant improvements. F-wave in peroneal, tibial nerves and distal latency in tibial nerve in objective nerve conduction studies revealed significant improvements.
