- Abstract
Background: Pharmacological treatment of neuropathic pain has various side effects, while complementary therapies have minimal risk of side effects.
Aim: To explore more deeply the types of complementary therapies that can be used to treat painful diabetic neuropathy.
Methods: Articles were searched using Science Direct, Pubmed, Google Scholar, and EBSCO to find articles according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles that meet the criteria set by the author are then analyzed, determined by the level of evidence extracted, and then synthesized.
Results: Complementary therapies that can reduce neuropathic pain in diabetic patients are electrical stimulation, Low-Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT), Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Aromatherapy Massage, Exercise Training, Acupuncture, and China Herbal Medicine.
Conclusion: Among these interventions, Acupuncture and electrical stimulation were the most widely used interventions to reduce neuropathic pain in diabetic patients. Complementary therapies can reduce neuropathic pain in people with diabetes. It is hoped that future research using the RCT method with many samples can be generalized.
