A study of pain threshold in diabetics with neuropathic foot lesions.
Pain thresholds to a pinch stimulus were measured at eight sites on the dorsum of both feet from 17 diabetic patients. Sixteen feet had neuropathic ulcers and seven had Charcot arthropathy. Vibration perception thresholds, radial nerve action potentials, muscle action potentials of flexor digitorum brevis, autonomic cardiovascular reflexes and reflex sweat output were also measured. Pinch pain ...

Neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Meticulous neurological examination and electrodiagnosis are valuable tools in early diagnosis of neuropathy and prevention of its sequels.Methods: A hundred and three randomly selected diabetic patients were recruited from the endocrine clinic. Mean age of patients was 52.6 ±14 years. 29.4% had type 1 and 70.6% had type 2 diabetes.Medic...
متن کاملElectrically stimulated axon reflexes are diminished in diabetic small fiber neuropathies.
Axon reflex mediated flare depends on the density and the function of cutaneous C-fibers and may be impaired in diabetic neuropathy. We induced neurogenic axon reflex flare by intracutaneous electrical stimulation and analyzed size and intensity of the flare on the dorsum of the foot and ventral thigh with laser Doppler imaging (LDI). We investigated 12 diabetic subjects with small fiber neurop...
متن کاملRapid determination of the thermal nociceptive threshold in diabetic rats.
Painful diabetic neuropathy (PDN) is characterized by hyperalgesia i.e., increased sensitivity to noxious stimulus, and allodynia i.e., hypersensitivity to normally innocuous stimuli. Hyperalgesia and allodynia have been studied in many different rodent models of diabetes mellitus. However, as stated by Bölcskei et al, determination of "pain" in animal models is challenging due to its subjectiv...
متن کاملQuantitative sweat test in diabetics with neuropathic foot lesions.
The volume of sweat produced by axon reflex stimulation using acetylcholine was measured in one foot each of 35 control subjects and 52 feet of 37 diabetic patients (28 with neuropathic ulceration, 11 with Charcot arthropathy, nine with somatic neuropathy but no foot lesion and four with no evidence of somatic neuropathy). In controls, the volume of sweat was greater in males than females. A fl...
