RESUMO
AIM: To study the efficacy of the complex therapy, including cocarnit (group B vitamins, triphosadenine and nicotinamide), of diabetic neuropathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-one patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and distal symmetric sensorimotor polyneuropathy were examined. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of the main group (n=26) received complex therapy, including cocarnit, and patients of the comparison group (n=15) received standard treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The positive dynamics based on the VAS (Ñ=0.0001), TSS (Ñ=0.0001), NSS (Ñ=0.001), NDS (Ñ=0.0431), SF-36 (Ñ=0.0008), electroneuromyographic results and glycated hemoglobin levels was observed in the main group. In patients of the comparison group, the positive dynamics was instable; the scores of clinical scales did not reach statistical significance. The results suggest the use of cocarnit in the complex treatment of patients with diabetic neuropathy.
