Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Modified Huayu Jiedu Formula (Modified Stasis-Transforming Toxin-Resolving Formula
MHJF) combined with western medicine for diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Methods Totally 120 cases of DPN were randomized into the treatment group and control group
with 60 in each. On the basis of hypoglycemic therapy
the control group was given 0.5 mg methylcobalamin tablets 3 times daily and the treatment group was given 1 agent of MHJF daily. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The TCM symptoms scores
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) total score and nerve conductive velocity (NCV) were observed before and after treatment. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group and control group was 75% and 53.3% respectively
with a significant difference between groups (P<0.01). The TCM symptoms scores and HAMD-17 total score were significantly improved in both groups after treatment
especially in the treatment group (P<0.01). Comparing with the control group
the NCV in the treatment group was significantly improved after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion MHJF is effective for DPN. It can relieve the symptoms and depression and improve NCV and quality of life.
