Abstract
Eleven diabetic patients with painful peripheral neuropathy were included in this study. They
were selected according to certain criteria, interviewed, information taken, pain score recorded according to
the visual analogue scale (VAS) and electromyography (EMG) done for them. Then, they put on
mecobalamin for 5 months (initial 3 months as I.M injections 3 times/week and then for 2 months as tablet
3 times a day), then pain score recorded, EMG done and any reported adverse effects recorded.
The study concluded that mecobalamin not only reduces pain sensation (P<0.001) but also
improves nerve conduction velocity (NCV) in EMG in the tibial, peroneal and sural nerves without any
reported adverse effects.
