Diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease associated with potentially disabling complications. Among them, diabetic neuropathy is probably the most frequent symptomatic manifestation, having an important social and economic impact. Painful somatic neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy treatment have been a challenge for years. New medical approaches that relief pain are now available and give hope to diabetic patients.
