- Distal Symmetric Polyneuropathy Pain in Diabetes Mellitus Daniella Silva Oggiam Juliana Vallim Jorgetto Guilherme Luiz Chinini Denise Miyuki Kusahara Mônica Antar Gamba Medicina nursing chronic pain complications physiotherapy diabetes mellitus Objective: To evaluate neuropathic pain (NP), its intensity, and complications in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a city of eastern São Paulo. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted with 96 individuals with T2DM served by primary health units in São João da Boa Vista-SP. The following instruments were used to screen NP: Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument, Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs, Douleur Neuropathique 4, and Brief Pain Inventory. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with a 5 % significance level.Results: Of the 96 people with T2DM for longer than five years, 22.9 % had pain. NP was related to high levels of fasting blood glucose (mean = 214 ± 65.58 mg/dl; p = 0.0002), glycated hemoglobin (mean = 8.8 ± 0.11 %; p < 0.001), absence of a balanced diet (p = 0.0066), obesity (p = 0.023), and high blood pressure (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Higher values of glycated hemoglobin rates increased three times the chance of NP. The screening and management of painful diabetic neuropathy is a challenge but adopting a screening protocol supports the secondary prevention of this manifestation. 2021 artículo científico 1657-5997 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=74170000007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/741/74170000007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/741/74170000007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/741/74170000007/74170000007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/741/74170000007/movil 10.7440/res64.2018.03 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=741 Aquichan application/pdf Universidad de La Sabana Aquichan (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.21
