Objective To investigatethe effect of LED single wave infrared red light irradiation combined with traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis on diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methods During May 2017 and January 2015, 120 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in double lower extremities, hospitalized in the department of endocrinology in our hospital, were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, with 60 cases in each group. The two groups were both treated with conventional interventions including strict control of blood glucose, blood pressure, diet nursing, exercise therapy, foot care and psychological counseling. In addition to the care as done in the control group, the observation group was treated with iontophoresis of traditional Chinese medicine combined with LED single wave infrared red light irradiation for 3 courses, 14 days for each course, The two groups were compared in terms of limb numbness score, dorsal artery blood flow volume, ankle brachial index and score by Toronto clinical scoring symptom before and after intervention. Results The post-treatment score of numbness in the extremities of the observation group was lower than the post-treatment score of the control group as well as the pre-treatment score of the observation group. The post-treatment blood flow of the dorsum of the foot in the observation group was greater than the post-treatment flow in the control group as well as the pre-treatment flow in the observation group and so it is with the ankle brachial index. Conclusions LED single wave infrared red light irradiation combined with traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis can to a certain extent control and delay the process of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. It can improve the quality of life of patients.
