Surgical Decompression of Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: The Role of Pain Distribution

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Efficacy of decompression of multiple lower-extremity peripheral nerves in patients with painful diabetic neuropathy was confirmed in this study. While both focal and diffuse group could benefit from surgical decompression, pain relief and morphological restoration could be better achieved in focal group.
