Outline of Final Research Achievements

We used a handheld nerve conduction test device called DPN Check (HDN-1000) to evaluate the severity of diabetic neuropathy. DPN Check easily assesses both the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and nerve conduction amplitude (NCA) of the purely sensory sural nerve. NCV, NCA, and severity of neuropathy, as determined using DPN Check correlates with foot ulcer risk assessment indicators. Therefore, DPN Check is useful for assessing foot ulcer risk. NCV and NCA values can be used to classify the severity of neuropathy into four levels, namely normal, mild, moderate, and severe. We adopted a new indicator for assessing foot ulcer risk. Risk-based foot care interventions could be used to prevent severe foot disease.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

糖尿病患者にDPNチェック(HDN-1000)を用いて、純感覚神経である腓腹神経の神経伝導速度と活動電位振幅を測定することは、足潰瘍発症リスクの重症度を評価する上で有用な指標となり得ることが明らかとなった。また、本指標を看護専門フットケア外来において適用することは、糖尿病患者の神経障害を早期発見し、個々の重症度に応じたフットケア介入につなげることができ、糖尿病患者の重症化足病変の予防に貢献できた。
