Methods Fifty two cases were randomly divided into a treatment group （n =26） and a control group （n =26）. In addition to basic treatment for lowering blood sugar in both groups, Pǐshū （BL 20）, Shènshū （BL 23）, Huántiào （GB 30）, Zùsānlǐ （ST 36）, Yánglíngquán （GB 34）, Sānyīnjiāo （SP 6）, Tàixī （KI 3）, Qǔchí （LI 11）, Wàiguān （TE 5） and Hégǔ （LI 4） were selected for warm needling and moxibustion in the treatment group. Methycobal was intramuscularly injected in the control group. Clinical symptoms and conduction velocities of the tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve were compared before and after treatment. Results Warm needling and moxibustion could alleviate such clinical symptoms as numbness of limbs, pain and hypoesthesia, and obviously improve the conduction velocities of both tibial and common peroneal nerves. Conclusion Warm needling and moxibustion exhibit good therapeutic effects on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.展开更多

Acupoints used are Fenchi (GB 20), Yifeng (TE 17), Taiyang (LR 3), Yangbai (GB 14), Cuanzhu (BL 2), Yingxiang (LI 20), Dicang (ST 4), Shuigou (GV 26), Chengjiang (CV 24), Xiaguan (ST 7) and Jiache (ST 6). Following 20 - 30 sessions of treatment, results show that the therapeutic effect of treatment group is significantly superior to that of Western medicine group and the therapeutic duration of the former group is shorter.展开更多
