Values and diagnostic accuracy of sensory nerve action potentials in control participants and participants with diabetes with and without clinical diabetic neuropathy, based on neuropathy scale measurements.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The assessment of the normative values of sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP) and their diagnostic accuracies using validated neuropathy-assessment tools to classify participants into groups with and without neuropathy was not previously described in the literature.

Methods

The Utah Early Neuropathy Scale (UENS), Michigan neuropathy-screening instrument, and nerve conduction data were collected prospectively. We described and compared the values of the sural, superficial peroneal sensory (SPS), and superficial radial SNAP amplitude in different age groups for three groups. Group 1 (G1)-control participants (UENS <5), group 2 (G2)-participants with diabetes without clinical diabetic neuropathy (UENS <5), and group 3 (G3)-participants with clinical diabetic neuro
