Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy has multiple aspects of pathophysiology including metabolic derangements and alterations of microvessel with hyperglycemia. Currently, there is no effective long-term treatment based on the pathologic mechanisms. Nerve regeneration with nerve growth factor (NGF) has been on clinical trials as a treatment option. This article reviews an action of a herbal medicine, DA 9801, whose mechanism of action is related to NGF in treating diabetic neuropathy.Entities:
