Abstract EN
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of chronic diabetes mellitus.
Pathological characteristics of DPN include axonal atrophy, nerve demyelination, and delayed regeneration of peripheral sensory nerve fibers.
The goal of treatment in DPN is not only to ameliorate neurological symptoms but also to slow or reverse the underlying neurodegenerative process.
Schwann cells and neurotrophic factors play important roles in the repair and regeneration of peripheral nerves.
The present paper reviews current studies and evidence regarding the neurological effects of traditional Chinese medicine, with an emphasis on recent developments in the area of nerve repair and regeneration in DPN.
