“…In the current study, the prevalence of neuropathic pain among participants with type 2 DM was 26.8%. This was slightly higher than the prevalence of neuropathic pain among type 2 DM participants (21.6%) that was determined by Ojo et al 30 using the PainDETECT questionnaire28; the same assessment method used in our study. Importantly, figure 1 has shown that the neuropathy score in female participants was significantly higher than that for male participants.…”

“…This is a cross-sectional study that involved a cohort of type 2 DM participants (n=239). Sample size was calculated using the formula (n= (t) 2 (p)(1 p)/(d) 2 ),29 where t=1.96 (represents the 95% CI), p=0.20 (the approximate prevalence of neuropathy among patients with type 2 DM as determined by Ojo et al 30 using PainDETECT questionnaire28) and d=0.05 (the margin of error based on the 95% CI) 29…”

ObjectiveNeuropathic pain is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Patients may complain of several neuropathic symptoms including impaired peripheral sensation, numbness, tingling, burning, and pain. Because these symptoms may cross with symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, we hypothesized that neuropathic pain and vitamin D deficiency may be associated in patients with type 2 DM.Research design and methodsThis is a cross-sectional study that involved 239 participants with type 2 DM. Neuropathic pain was assessed using PainDETECT questionnaire. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was measured by the electrochemiluminescence immunoassay, fasting blood glucose was measured by the hexokinase method and hemoglobin A1c was measured by the turbidimetric inhibition immunoassay.ResultsThe prevalence of neuropathic pain among type 2 DM participants was 26.8%. Vitamin D deficiency was reported in 67.8% of type 2 DM participants. The neuropathy score for females was significantly higher than that for males (p<0.01). There was no significant difference in serum vitamin D between type 2 DM participants according to their gender and according to their neuropathy status (p>0.05). Ordinal logistic regression analysis has shown that female gender was the only significant predictor of neuropathic pain among type 2 DM participants (p<0.01 with an OR (95% CI) of 2.45 (1.29 to 4.67)).ConclusionsNeuropathic pain was not associated with serum vitamin D but was associated with female gender in type 2 DM. Because our results were not consistent with other studies that used different neuropathy assessment tools, we suggest that further research should be conducted to check the validity of these tools in identifying subjects with neuropathy.

“…On the other hand, the literature shows a lower prevalence of NP compared to this study. In Nigeria, in a study conducted with 250 diabetics, applying the painDETECT questionnaire, showed a prevalence of 21.6% 26 . Such situation also was observed in studies with the DN4 in Istambul 20 , Turkey, with 1,357 diabetics and the prevalence was 23%.…”

“…It is believed that a higher occurrence of NP increases with age 35 . Some authors highlighted the predominance of people above of 60 years of age in the composition of their samples 21,[25][26][27]29 , pointing that senior people have a higher risk to develop NP, since, a great part of the diseases that cause this type of pain has greater incidence with aging 39 . However, some studies showed the prevalence of NP in people with diabetes with an average age below 60 years 20,36 .…”
