Abstract

The aim of this short communication article was to explore the literature background behind cutaneous circulatory changes in diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Measurement of skin blood flow using Laser doppler flowmetry and thermography for amplitude, flow rate and volume was indicative of autonomic dysfunction in DPN, and treatment using Alpha-lipoic acid, Frequency modulated rhythmic electromagnetic stimulation, Pentoxifylline and Ruboxistaurin were shown to improve skin blood flow in subjects with DPN.

Keywords: Neuroanatomy; Structural Endocrinology; Diabetic Neuropathy; Cutaneous Circulation.
