Objective To investigate the efficacy of femoral artery infusion therapy in treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods A total of 86 DPN patients hospitalized in Department of Endocrinology of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from October 2021 to June 2022 were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to random number table method,with 43 cases in each group.The patients of control group was given conventional treatment,and the patients of observation group was given microarterial infusion of alprostadil and mecobalamin.Fasting blood glucose,scores of self-made questionnaire and vibrating perception threshold(VPT)of two groups were compared before and after treatment.Results There was no significant difference in fasting blood glucose between two groups before and after treatment(P>0.05).Before treatment,there were no significant differences in scores of self-made questionnaire and VPT between two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,scores of self-made questionnaire and VPT of patients in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Femoral artery infusion therapy can obviously improve the symptoms and signs of DPN patients,and the recent effect is good,and it is a safe and effective method,which can be popularized in clinical practice.
