Objective To investigate the curative effect of warm acupuncture on diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods A total of eighty-two DPN patients admitted to Lingcheng District People's Hospital in Dezhou City from July 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the study objects.They were randomly divided into control group and ob-servation group by drawing lots method,with forty-one cases in each.The control group was treated with routine regi-men,and the observation group was treated with warm acupuncture on the basis of routine regimen.The therapeutic ef-fect,motor nerve conduction velocity,sensory nerve conduction velocity,traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score,Clinical Scoring System score,quality of life and incidence of adverse events during follow-up were compared be-tween the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.12%,higher than that of the con-trol group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,motor nerve and sensory nerve con-duction velocity in observation group were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically sig-nificant(both P<0.05).The traditonal chinese medicine syndrome score of observation group was lower,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05).Clinical Scoring System score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The life quality score of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse events in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine warm acupuncture can play an auxiliary therapeutic effect in the treatment of DPN,which can effectively improve the therapeutic effect of patients,improve nerve conduction speed,alleviate DPN-related symptoms,enable patients to obtain a better quality of life,and reduce the risk of long-term adverse events.
