Pharmacotherapy for diabetic peripheral neuropathy pain and quality of life: a systematic review.
This review systematically assessed the effect of pharmacologic treatments of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on pain and quality of life. It concluded that for reducing pain, duloxetine and venlafaxine, pregabalin and oxcarbazepine, tricyclic antidepressants, atypical opioids, and botulinum toxin were more effective than placebo. However, quality of life was poorly reported, studies were short-term, drugs had substantial dropout rates, and opioids have significant risks.
