痛性神经病变是糖尿病常见且令人痛苦的并发症，它对患者的社会和心理健康有相当大的影响。有两种截然不同的痛性神经病：一种是一年内消失的急性自限性神经病，另一种是可以持续数年的慢性神经病。现在有许多药物可用于治疗神经病理性疼痛。然而，一些药物可能对这些药物没有反应，或者可能有不可接受的不良副作用。在这种情况下，患者的生活质量可能会受到严重影响。卫生保健专业人员需要评估痛性神经病变的全部影响。在这篇文章中，我们回顾了一些用于评估痛性神经病的严重程度及其对生活质量的影响的工具。版权所有(C)，2003 John Wiley Sons，Ltd.
Painful neuropathy is a common and often distressing complication of diabetes, It has considerable impact on the social and psychological well-being of affected individuals. There are two distinct forms of painful neuropathy: an acute and self-limiting form that resolves within a year or a chronic form that can go on for years. There are now a number of drugs available for the treatment of neuropathic pain. However, some may fail to respond to these drugs or may have unacceptable adverse side effects. When this is the case, the patient's quality of life can be severely affected.Health care professionals need to assess the full impact of painful neuropathy.
