No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The cross sectional area of posterior tibial nerve (PTN) is increased in diabetic patients with distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) as compared to diabetic patients without DSPN. This study aims to evaluate whether the cross sectional area of the Posterior Tibial Nerve (PTN) as measured by ultrasound is increased in patients with distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) as compared to diabetic patients without DSPN.

Conditions

  • Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy (DSPN)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Nerve Conduction Study (NCS)

An NCS will be performed on each patient to confirm or exclude DSPN. Following this, a systematic ultrasound examination of the posterior tibial nerve will be performed for all the patients.
