    The Report on Nerve Decompressionlooks impressive.However in Diabetes the neuropathy is multifactorial and not only compressive.Many a times the decompression does not help.There is need for wider debate and well controlled trials to assess the genuine benifit of this therapy

    Changing the Natural History of Diabetic Neuropathy: Incidence of Ulcer/Amputation in

    Although this is one of several basic retrospective papers on nerve decompression in diabetes to reverse neuropathic symptoms...I continue to have a gut feeling there might be something in this approach. I am constantly amazed at the huge numbers of diabetic patients that have bilateral carpal tunnel releases under the diagnosis of "carpal tunnel syndrome", in the presence of foot-related "diabetic peripheral neuropathy". These people go really well with there carpal tunnel releases, but everyone writes of the foot as a lost cause that cannot be treated. Don't write this one off just yet guys and gals. :rolleyes:
