摘要
Painful neuropathy affects up to 5% of patients with diabetes. Although the pain is often difficult to treat, the choice of proven drug therapies has broadened in recent years. Agents can be selected,alone or in combination,from four classes:tricyclic antidepressants, narcotic analgesics, anticonvulsants, and antiarrhythmics.
