Biomarkers and Novel Therapies of Diabetic Neuropathy: An Updated Review.

Diabetic neuropathy is a persistent consequence of the biochemical condition known as diabetes mellitus. As of now, the identification and management of diabetic neuropathy continue to be problematic due to problems related to the safety and efficacy of existing therapies. This study examines biomarkers, molecular and cellular events associated with the advancement of diabetic neuropathy, as well as the existing pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments employed. Furthermore, a holistic and mechanism-centric drug repurposing approach, antioxidant therapy, Gene and Cell therapies, Capsaicin and other spinal cord stimulators and lifestyle interventions are pursued for the identification, treatment and management of diabetic neuropathy. An extensive literature survey was done on databases like PubMed, Elsevier, Science Direct and Springer using the keywords "Diabetic Neuropathy", "Biomarkers", "Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms", and "Novel Therapeutic Targets".Thus, we may conclude that non-pharmacological therapies along with palliative treatment, may prove to be crucial in halting the onset of neuropathic symptoms and in lessening those symptoms once they have occurred.
