In 30 seconds

This multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Mudan granules in 400 patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). After 24 weeks, the Mudan group showed a significant improvement in the Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score (MDNS) with a mean change of -4.80 compared to -2.66 in the control group.

Key findings

  • The mean change in MDNS was -4.80 for the Mudan group versus -2.66 for the control group.
  • The least squares mean MDNS change was -4.74 for Mudan and -2.72 for placebo.
  • A statistically significant difference in MDNS improvement was observed between the two groups.

Why it matters

The study provides evidence that Mudan granules may effectively alleviate symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes that significantly impacts quality of life. Understanding new treatment options is essential for managing this condition.
