With over 10 crore people living with diabetes in India, diabetic neuropathy remains a commonly observed complication, with nearly one in four individuals estimated to experience some form of nerve damage.
Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), along with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), cause nerve pain in the hands and feet that feels like tingling, numbness and burning sensations, disrupting sleep, limiting mobility and making everyday activities uncomfortable.
