Median and Phrenic Nerve Conduction Study in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus is an iceberg disease. Unfavorable modification of lifestyle and dietary habits that are associated with urbanization is believed to be the most important factors for the development of diabetes. Diabetic patients, if undiagnosed or inadequately treated, develop multiple chronic complications leading to irreversible disability and death. Aim and Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the motor median and phrenic nerve conduction study in Type II diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: Forty-five diabetic patients were recruited and were subjected to do median and phrenic nerve conduction study. Results were statistically analyzed by ANOVA. Results: There was a significant (P < 0.05) increase in latency and decrease in amplitude and nerve conduction velocity of both phrenic and median nerve conduction. Conclusion: We conclude that like other peripheral nerves phrenic nerve also gets affected in Type II diabetes mellitus.
