Clinical Effects of Combined Use of Carbamazepine and Amitriptyline in the Treatment of Diabetic Neuropathy with Concurrent Diabetic Foot.
International Journal of Neuroscience 2024 April 11
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to analyze the clinical effects of combining carbamazepine and amitriptyline in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy with concurrent diabetic foot.
METHODS: A total of 120 diabetic neuropathy patients treated at our hospital from June 2022 to November 2023 were included in the study. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were registered, and their basic data were collected. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the control group treated with amitriptyline and the study group treated with a combination of carbamazepine and amitriptyline.
RESULTS: The study group demonstrated significantly better clinical efficacy compared to the control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in psychological status and pain perception before treatment between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, post-treatment, the study group showed improved psychological status, reduced pain perception, and overall better quality of life in both physiological and psychological dimensions compared to the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The combined use of carbamazepine and amitriptyline in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy with concurrent diabetic foot yields positive clinical outcomes. It effectively alleviates symptoms, improves psychological well-being, reduces pain sensation, and enhances overall quality of life. These findings can guide physicians in adopting a more evidence-based treatment approach and provide patients with more effective individualized treatment strategies.
