Cognitive function in individuals with and without painful and painless diabetic polyneuropathy-A cross-sectional study in type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Previous studies suggest that cognitive impairment is more prevalent in individuals with painful and painless diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). However, the current evidence is not well described.
