A study of the use of carbamazepine, pregabalin and alpha lipoic acid in patients of diabetic neuropathy.
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common, symptomatic, long-term complication of diabetes mellitus. Many of the agents used to treat DN have not been compared with each other. This study was, therefore, undertaken to compare the efficacy and safety of carbamazepine, pregabalin and alpha-lipoic acid in diabetic neuropathy patients. ⋯ Results of this study suggest that treatment with pregabalin gives faster and better improvement in diabetic neuropathy.
