Nerve Conduction Study of Median Nerve in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Healthcare Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The prevalence of chronic disease diabetes mellitus is rapidly rising all over the globe. The number of diabetic mellitus patients with diabetic neuropathy is increasing as estimated as 45% of patients develop diabetic polyneuropathy. Objectives: To evaluate latency, amplitude and NCV of median nerve in type 2 DM. Methods: The study was done in 60 (M=35, F= 25) consenting diabetic patients. Anthropometric variables were recorded. Motor and sensory nerve conduction parameters of bilateral median nerves were recorded using standard technique. Values obtained were compared with normal values. Independent t test was applied to compare the anthropometric and nerve conduction variables between male and female diabetic subjects. Results: Anthropometric variables were comparable between diabetic male and females. Also, most of the nerve conduction variables were comparable between diabetic males and females. However, these values were less as compared to given standard values. [14] Distal amplitude of left median motor nerve was significantly higher in males (p=0.04) while onset latency of left median sensory nerve is significantly prolonged as compared to females (p=0.008). Conclusion: Median nerves are affected in type 2 diabetes suggesting of diabetic neuropathy.
