Abstract
Approximately 20% of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) endorse painful sensations such as prickling, stabbing, and burning pain that reflect small-fiber involvement. Although glycemic control is crucial to delay the onset and progression of DPN, there have been many reports on the use of decompression nerve surgery to aid in the treatment of DPN.
