Abstract

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the neurological diseases with high morbidity, and its course is migratory and progressive. Currently, the effectiveness of acupuncture therapy in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications has been confirmed by clinical and basic research. Acupuncture treatment modality has the advantages of low cost, high safety, no toxic side effects, and good efficacy, and is easily accepted by patients in treatment. The authors have documented the inflammatory response, glycolipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, blood rheology and nerve conduction in function. The authors have documented the inflammatory response, glycolipid metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, blood rheology and nerve conduction function in patients with DPN treated with acupuncture to summarize the mechanism of action of acupuncture in treating DPN and to provide a reference basis for clinical and scientific research.
