| Popis: | Diabetic polyneuropathy is a complex set of clinical syndromes, which deplete various regions of the nervous system. The process leading to diabetic neuropathy is multi-factorial. Its symptoms are paresthesia, dysesthesia and pain. The signs of damage to the peripheral neurons are hypoesthesia, hypoalgesia, hyperesthesia and hyperalgesia, decreased tendon reflexes, and, possibly, weakness and muscle atrophy. There is no universal classification. Electromyoneurography is indispensable in the diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy. However, there is no agreement on the most sensitive parameter for an early diagnosis. One hundred patients with diabetes mellitus were examined in order to investigate the sensitivity of different electromyographic parameters. Electromyographic techniques proved to be entirely sensitive for the early diagnosis of diabetic polyneuropathy. Some of the parameters are more suitable for an early detection of peripheral nerve damage, and others, which are not so sensitive but easy to use and stable, are suitable to follow up the course of diabetic polyneuropathy. |
