No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess the accuracy of screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy by comparing the Ipswich touch test with the 10-g monofilament test in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

The main question it aims to answer is:

How does the accuracy of the Ipswich Touch Test for identifying peripheral neuropathy compare to the traditional 10-g monofilament test?

Participants underwent both the Ipswich touch test and the 10-g monofilament test.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Foot

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ipswich touch test

Ipswich touch test: A simple test to screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) by lightly touching the patient's toes with the index finger and asking them to identify which foot is touched. 10g monofilament test: A more sensitive test to confirm DPN by applying a thin nylon fiber to different sites on the patient's feet and asking them to indicate when they feel the pressure. Test procedure: The patient closes their eyes and the examiner performs both tests in a specific sequence and records the results. The tests are done on healthy skin and not on wounds or calluses.
