A Comparative Peripheral Nerve Conduction Study in Type-2 Diabetics with Symptoms of Polyneuropathy with Age and Sex Matched Normal Subjects

Abstract

Methods: The study group consists of 9 cases diagnosed with Diabetic neuropathy referred to our neurophysiology lab and control group consists of 9 age and sex matched normal subjects who are nondiabetic, healthy volunteers. Statistical analysis was done using unpaired t-test and 8 out of 9 cases considered for statistical analysis. Motor and Sensory nerve conduction studies conducted in both Upper (Median and Ulnar nerves) and Lower limbs (Tibial and Peroneal nerves) using bipolar surface electrodes with RMS EMG
