摘要

Abstract

Objective:

To evaluate the effect and safety of foot baths with Tangbi Waixi Decoction (TW) in treating patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

Methods:

It is a multicenter double-blinded randomized controlled trial. Participants with DPN were recruited between November 18

2016 and May 30

2018 from 8 hospitals in China. All patients received basic treatments for glycemic management. Patients received foot baths with TW herbal granules either 66.9 g (intervention group) or 6.69 g (control group) for 30 min once a day for 2 weeks and followed by a 2-week rest

as a therapeutic course. If the Toronto Clinical Scoring System total score (TCSS-TS) ≥6 points

the patients received a total of 3 therapeutic courses (for 12 weeks) and were followed up for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was change in TCSS-TS score at 12 and 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes included changes in bilateral motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) of the median and common peroneal nerve. Safety was also assessed.

Results:

Totally 632 patients were enrolled

and 317 and 315 were randomized to the intervention and control groups

respectively. After the 12-week intervention

patients in both groups showed significant declines in TCSS-TS scores

and significant increases in MNCV and SNCV of the median and common peroneal nerves compared with pre-treatment (

0.05). The reduction of TCSS-TS score at 12 weeks and the increase of SNCV of median nerve at 24 weeks in the control group were greater than those in the intervention group (

0.05). The number of adverse events did not differ significantly between groups (

0.05)

and no serious adverse event was related with treatment.

Conclusion:

Treatment of TW foot baths was safe and significantly benefitted patients with DPN. A low dose of TW appeared to be more effective than a high dose. (Registry No. ChiCTR-IOR-16009331)
