What was measured
What's new in treating painful diabetic neuropathy: a brief review of current drugs, capsaicin and spinal cord stimulation, plus newer targets including palmitoylethanolamide and the endocannabinoid system.

What the authors reported

First-line drugs, capsaicin and spinal cord stimulation are covered alongside newer targets such as NMDA receptors and the endocannabinoid system. The authors say treatments such as palmitoylethanolamide and other endocannabinoid targets have extremely limited clinical trials, that many studies did not measure function, and that measurement methods were inconsistent.

Limits of this study

A brief narrative review; no trial numbers or PEA data are given. Funding and conflicts not stated in the abstract.
