Peripheral neuropathy is very common in diabetes mellitus (DM). Till now there is no available effective therapy for this pathology. Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of perineural platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection as a treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

perineural injection of platelet-rich plasma

Sonographic guided injection was done under complete sterile conditions including skin sterilization, ultrasound probe covered with sterile pad, and a sterile gel. The needle was introduced from the lateral side toward midline using the in-plane approach to target the desired nerve, each nerve was injected by a single dose of 1.5 cc of PRP. Free hand one-man technique was used by the physician who simultaneously managed the ultrasound device by holding the syringe with one hand while scanning the nerve by moving the probe with the other hand. With continuous imaging of the tip of the needle, the syringe was put around the nerve and platelet-rich plasma was injected in the peri-neural tissue.
